Hello Barry - so Nellie Ferguson was her first married name, not her maiden name?

Any idea when/where she died?

Her 1927 marriage certificate will give you her age at marriage and her former names. Hopefully her father's details too.

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1927
FERGUSON Nellie HALEY Bradford 9b 203
HALEY John H FERGUSON Bradford 9B 203

Did she and John Ferguson have any children? - we may find her actual maiden name from a birth record.
