Find Ancestors

I'm trying to find relatives of Alexander Spiers Ferguson,I have tried searching everywhere but I can't even get one person with this name to show up.

do you have any dates, places, possible wives etc



are we looking 1700s or recent??


where exactly have you looked??


Have you tried putting his name into the Search Trees facility (look at the top of the screen).


Mind you .... he will only be there if someone has entered him!

Alistair,

Yes thats the one I was hinting at by the dates but wanted feedback before suggesting it.

That was the only reference I had found to the name anywhere.

Maureen

he was born late 1890's or early 1900's.
He died around 1954/55 in Bridge of Weir sanitorium, possibly of T.B.

There are no deaths registered for anyone of that name (or similar) between 1950 and 1960 in Bridge of Weir.

HELPPPPPPP
i just keep running into a dead end all the time.
i'm trying to find my grandad's side of the family but they seem to be un-tracable.
i've been given the surname for my grandads father as spiers ferguson and his mother as syme. but still no luck in getting any closer. many thanks for every1 thats helped.

manda

he was addopted, but we cant get his birth certificate
we know him as Ronald Campbell Ferguson D.O.B 10/7/1936. But on his adoption certificate it says
his adoptive parents were
ALEXANDER SPIERS FERGUSON &
SARAH SYME OR FERGUSON not to sure if they were married or not
the address was 6 WATT ST GREENOCK
REG DISTRICT 006/AR
ENTRANCE NO 559
REG NAME NRH
DATE OF ADOPTION 11/5/1937
ISSUED BY SHERIFF COURT OF RENFREWSHIRE&BUTE @ GREEN
DATE OF REGISTRATION 18/5/1937

ALISTAIR,
He definately died in that Sanitorium around that time, would all deaths be registered?
We just keep hitting dead ends and can't get nowhere at all with this. Strange.
Amanda.

actually you have FOUR threads between two boards!!!!

I tell a lie - FOUR threads between two boards with people doing look ups on all four - not on Amanda - please delete three

I'm really sorry,I'm not sure what I'm doing.
Where is the best place to put my threads?

n

Doesn't really matter which board you put your threads on as most helpers look at them all, as long as you only post the same request on one board.

Records Office board is probably best for lookups.

ok,thanks.

I have found out that he was born in 1900,married a Sarah Gray in1929 Greenock,Renfrew,he died in 1955 at Kilmalcom Renfrew.
This is even more puzzling now because Adoption papers had Sarah Syme as adoptive mum so,what happened to Sarah Gray?
