Annie Ferguson 24 June 1907, 12 Warrock Street Glasgow
Jessie Ferguson 26 Oct 1908, 10 James Nesbit St Glasgow
William Ferguson 23 Apr 1910, 31 Annfield Rd Dundee
Walter Ferguson 2 Mar 1912, 49 Benvie Rd Dundee
Jeannie Ferguson 5 May 1914, 31 Tay St Ferry Port on Craig

Their Parents were Jane Logue b 1896 Londonderry d 1958 Glasgow
& William Ferguson b 1874 Glasgow d 1919 Glasgow.

The siblings were all split up around 1919 and Annie Jessie and William, at some point left for Australia.

Any information on schools marriages deaths would be greatly appreciated and give us the clues to finish a huge puzzle of what became of this family.

Many thanks for reading
