Sarah Knight 60 visitor widow born Eastbourne Sussex


Bob, can you tell us why you think Sarah Knight is his MIL could she perhaps be his Mother? Just a thought......

Interesting that he wasn't baptized until he was 22...................obviously just in time for his marriage

So he would have given the info about his parents, which could be a total fabrication

I have checked the 1851 census for 3 Bridgewater Gardens the address given on his Baptism but unfortunately there is no sign of the Fergusson Family

There is no sign of Thomas in either the 1841 or 1851 Census. He is in the 1861 with his wife, and children, and also his M-in-L,who is described as a widow. Bob

Have you found Thomas on the 1841 census or later ones ?

My Thomas Alexander Fergusson was born in Brighton 12 Feb 1831. His father was James Fergusson, a painter. I can find no information at all about James, his year of birth, place of birth, nothing. He may have been born in Scotland. Any suggestions? Bob
