Archibald Ferguson of Strachur
« on: Saturday 05 September 15 11:13 BST (UK) »
Hello All,
I'm trying to find the parents of Archibald Ferguson born 1756 in Strachur. He died in 1828.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Bob

Hello castlebob
A quick look at Family Search and I can only see one Baptism for an Archibald Ferguson at Kildalton, Argyllshire on 2nd February 1755.  Father's name: James Ferguson.
I realise you say your Archibald died in 1828 but the same site shows an entry for Archibald Ferguson on the 1841 census aged 85 years which would give a birth in 1756, though the ages on the census can be a wee bit unreliable. Records of deaths in Scotland, pre 1855, are sparse. 
Sorry not to be of more help.  isk
