Surnames: FERGUSON, PEDEN and BARRY

James FERGUSON and wife Gordon (PEDEN) lived in NYCity 1850 with 5 sons- Alexander / Thomas/ Walter/ James and George. All sons except for James have been accounted for- raising their families in NYCity. James and Gordon (PEDEN) FERGUSON have not been spotted anywhere since the 1850 census at age 46. James was a saddler by trade- coming from Scotland- Midlothian area. Their son, Thomas, married a Johanna BARRY, whose parents were from Ireland. They were Redmond BARRY and Ellen (?). Looking for death records for all of the above- NY or elsewhere..

Thanks for your help.

Surnames: FERGUSON, CROWELY and PORTER

Great site! I'm searching out my family tree on my mother's side. Very little information was past down. My grandfather was William FERGUSON, he married Mary CROWELY. He and his brother (name unknown) immigrated from Ireland ( dates unknown)and settled in I believe Red River Saskchewan. The farm failed and the brothers parted ways and William moved to Dryden On and became a lumberjack. He and Mary had one child a daughter, my mother Elise May FERGUSON - birhdate l922 died 1989. Due to some unknown circumstance, suspected a fire that would have destroyed their cabin and it is here there is lost information on my grandmother Mary. Whatever occurred my grandmother was unable to care for my mother and Due to this unknown circumstance my mother at age 3 was taken in by elderly aunt and uncle, Anne PORTER and (unknown uncle's first name) who lived in Toronto On.and raised her. Searching for more info, specifically Mary CROWELY's lineage....any help or connections are welcomed.

Thanks
