Fergie

gwyncooper1 — 2009-08-18 00:05:28Z

Anybody doing research on the Fergie family from Portobello(?)
Edinburgh. Mr grandfather was John William Fergie b. around 1889 to a Thomas Fergie (Lithographic Printer) and Isabella Fergie (nee Ross). Dont have much info but believe they may be from the Portobello area. My grandfather( who was an electrician) moved to Motherwell around about 1910 and married and brought his family up there. Anyone with any information re other siblings, etc gratefully received.

I'm looking for descendants of a William Henry Waters and Jane Kinnear who married 1875 in Canongate, Edinburgh. William Henry was born in Mancester 1856 and moved to Edinburgh by 1871. He was a railway clerk. They had the following children: Charlotte Jane, William George, Arthur, Elizabeth, Robert, David, John, Benjamin and Isabella.

Thanks for the reply - I already had the census info (I guess I should have indicated that in my first message). What I can't find is anything on Susannah's parents or Benjamin's. I also can't trace their other older children Maryann, William, Sarah, and Thomas. Also the Ada on the census died that year as they had another Ada shortly after the census. They also had a Bertha, Joseph, Harold and Frederick after the census.

Christopher C. Edinburgh family

Howdy! I'm from the Rufus Houston branch of
the Christopher C. Edinburgh Family. My uncle,
Wayne Edinburgh and I have done research over
the years into several branches of this family,
with the help of Virgia Lynn (Edinburgh) Rimmer
who lived in Hunstville, TX before she passed
away a few years ago. I have limited information
on a few other branches of CC Sr.'s family that
you may find useful. Contact me via email at
rcooper@NOSPAMmyriad.net (remove NOSPAM to reply).

I am researching all descendants of Christopher C. Edinburgh of Walker County, Texas. His wife's name was Lucida Birdwell. children were: Warren, Ann (my GGrandmother). May have had other children, but I have no other names. Christopher moved to Texas in 1824, served under General Sam Houston during the battle of San Jacinto for Texas independence. I would appreciate any information.

thanks...
