Biography

• David Ferguson was born about 1870 in County Armagh, Ireland. He was the son of Thomas Ferguson^[1].
• In 1905 David Ferguson, a farmer from Tullynamollogue, Co. Armagh married a young widow Agnes Gordon at Benburb, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, Ireland^[1]. Agnes's sister Mary Morrison was one of the witnesses. Agnes's husband Andrew Gordon had died in 1904 in Tullynamolloge.
• David and Agnes Ferguson had at least two children, Martha jane Ferguson (b.1906) and Ethel (b.1911, d. 1911). They do not appear in the 1911 Ireland census, but Ethel was born later that year in Belfast Maternity Hospital. David Ferguson was listed as living in Hollywood, Belfast, and working as a dealer, which may explain why they were travelling at the time of the census. Agnes's three children with Andrew Gordon were living with her mother at the time of the 1911 census.

Research Note

David may be the David Ferguson born to Thomas and Ann Jane Ferguson at Tullyvullan, Co. Armagh on 27 June 1870^[2]. At the time of the 1901 census he may also be the David Ferguson living in the household of Ann Jane Ferguson, a widow, in Balleer, County Armagh^[3].
