George and Margaret FERGUSON, Queensland and Victoria
« on: Saturday 04 November 23 11:07 GMT (UK) »
George Wilson Ferguson b 1895 Markinch, Scotland sailed from London to Brisbane on Osterley 1924 heading to Pioneer Estate, Lower Burdekin, Townsville.
Margaret Jane McCormick b 1907 Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland sailed from London to Brisbane on Orontes 1938 also going to Pioneer Estate, they married 16/07/1938 Queensland.
Son Wilson Murray Ferguson was born 21/10/1941.
Margaret Jane died 1962 (55) Barwon Downs, Victoria, George died 1966 (71) a farmer, Barwon Downs and son Wilson died 2010 (69).
All are buried in Warncoort Cemetery.
Would like to find where they were between time at Pioneer Estate (1938) and farming in Barwon Downs area (1966).

Was Wilson born Queensland or Victoria?

And what was George's occupation on the marriage cert?

Thank you both for replies, Wilson Ferguson was born 21/10/1941 according to Find a Grave site and would be in Queensland.
George Ferguson had been at Pioneer Estate from 1924 and still there at time of marriage 1938, I don't have the marriage cert.
In 1950 the family go to Kansas to visit Margaret Fergusons brother.
Thank you for the electoral rolls Neale, it fills in some of the gaps.

Thank you again Neale for Will and Probate links, I had found them earlier for Margaret and George Ferguson. Normally I use Scotlands People as I'm in Scotland and not sure about using and costs of  records for Victoria.
Thank you for your help.
