About Annie Ferguson

Annie's marriage certificate records that she was a 21 year old spinster, and that she was the daughter of Hugh Ferguson, deceased, a Sailor.

Annie gave birth to six children that we know of. The first, my grandfather, arrived six months after her marriage. Life would have been hard for them all as Annie died just 16 years later, at the age of 37, from 'Heart Disease (Duration Indefinite), so one assumes that she'd been unwell for a while.

When Annie died, her youngest child, Edward, was just five years old.

Following Annie's death, some of her children went to live with various relatives. Edward would have had to keep working in the mines to feed his family, and in those days, men didn't stay home to look after their children, no matter the circumstances. That was women's work!
