I am trying to find information about John Ferguson born in Burnley 1905. He was the son of my grandfather John Ferguson and his wife Catherine nee Melvin they also had a daughter Mary born in 1904 who I knew when I was a child, she was not married and died about 1989. By the census of 1911 my granddad was a widower his wife having died before 1911. The men in the family were employed mainly in the coal mines and the girls in cotton mills. I always believed that his eldest son died at a young age but so far have had no luck in tracking down a record of his death. Any help much appreciated |

Might the John in question have been Catherine's son, as he was a half-brother? |
