!Note: [Per Hector Ferguson]: Killed in coal mine. His family moved to Australia in early 1900's, and was not heard from since until 1982, when Peter Ferguson Jr recieved a letter informing him of the death of Helen Peterson Ferguson at an earlier date. Place of death also listed as Leobeath, Fifeshire, Scotland. Our records showed the date as having been 7 Apr 1896, but the Schotish Registry has it as 13 Jul 1915.
