Paul...No brick wall...!!!
Nicholas married Mary Walsh in Oldam 1867...You should find them on the 1871 Census..I dont have it so cant check for you...Possibly both sets of parents are also on it so worth a check...

Hello to you both. I cant put into words how much I appreciate all this help. Ive been onto my Godfather Paul Ferguson (in my tree) and Im amazed excited and emotional. I grew up without knowing my family. Now all of a sudden Im going to be reunited with an Aunt (Ona saunders) at christmas - the best present ever!

once again many thanks. now i want to find out if the rest of the 6 sisters married - think i will struggle!

I already know about 2 - Frances my nan and Agnes my godfathers mum. Not sure how to find the details on the others!

Paul Report 11 Dec 2009 10:04

I am trying to find information on the Mcavady sisters. I believe there were 5 maybe 6.

2 of which were AGNES B1904 & FRANCES ELIZABETH B1909. This is confirmed. Agnes married Francis Ferguson 1927. Frances married Albert Worrall 1929 in Wolverhampton

Others could possibly have been HANNA, ROSE, THERESA (TERESA) EVA (EVE), possibly a MARY & AN ANNIE

So far, I believe all of them married (if i have the right lineage)



I believe they would have lived on Fisher St Oldham and attended St Marys RC Church.

Any information is greatly appreciated.
