| 151 | Margaret was born in the Liverpool, Lancashire, UK workhouse in 1876. By 1881, she had been adopted by a middle aged couple, James and Mary Ann Hamill. James was an engine driver. It is not clear why Margaret was adopted. It appears that her mother Elizabeth was still in the workhouse in 1881, and by then had another child Elizabeth, born late 1879. | Sheridan, Margaret A (I1590)

| 157 | Mary Grant Ferguson was born in Manchester, Lancashire, UK along with her twin sister Kitty on Feb 1st 1890. She was known as Minnie throughout her life. She moved home with her parents and 2 elder sisters to Liverpool, Lancashire, UK, some time between 1891 and 1901, when the family lived in Low Hill. Kitty her sister was very backward, and at an early age Minnie decided that her duty in life was to look after Kitty, and that this ruled out the prospect of marriage. Some time in the 1920s, or earlier, Minnie and Kitty moved from Rock Ferry to Seacombe in Wallasey, just 200 yards from the promenade along the Mersey. By 1945, but probably from much earlier, they lived in a large terraced house , where they kept numerous cats and dogs, mainly strays brought in by the local lads. Minnie was very gregarious, but had her work cut out looking after Kitty. She was very well spoken. She loved the theatre and went to the theatre in New Brighton to see shows. Panto was a big treat, right until her old age. Kitty died some time in the 1950s, leaving Minnie alone. Minnie died late 1976, in Wallasey. | Ferguson, Mary (Minnie) (I139)

| 159 | Minnie was born 1 Feb 1914 in 15 Lloyd Street, Everton South, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. She was named Minnie Louisa. Louisa was the name of her mother's younger sister, who actually took baby Minnie to be baptised; Minnie was the name by which one of her father's younger sisters (really Mary), a great favourite of Minnie's, was known. Minnie went to Steers Street School in Everton. During her school years, Minnie was a keen Girl Guide, spending holidays in the Isle of Man and Wales. She also learnt to play the piano, and she used this skill for a number of years at Sunday School. She could only play from sheet music, an envied those who could just knock out a tune on a piano ad-lib. Minnie was confirmed into the Church of England on 23 Mar 1930, at St Chrystostom Church, Everton, the church in which 8 years later she was married. When she left school, she went to work at Littlewoods Pools, then just a small firm. Initially, she marked the pools coupons, but when it was realised that she had an aptitude for figures, she moved into the accounts department. She was still working there until the day before she married - Littlewoods did not employ married women, and her husband John did not want a working wife. Nearly 20 years later, when John's health problems prevented him from earning the good money his trade would have allowed, Minnie returned to work part-time at the office of a stevedore company named McGuirk's. This firm went through changes and mergers, but Minnie remained employed with the firm until she retired at the age of 60. After John's death in 1989, Minnie could no longer cope with the rather large garden in the house she and John rented in Broadgreen. So she moved into sheltered housing accommodation in Broadgreen Road, Old Swan, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. Her 'accounting' skills were used by the residents there, as she kept the books for the various holiday, National Lottery and Christmas clubs. She remained at this home until 2001, when infirmity finally compelled her to move to a nursing home, Basil Grange at the entrance to Sandfield Park, just 200 yards from where she had lived (in Kremlin Drive) most of her married life. In November 2002, Basil Grange closed, and Mary was forced to move again, this time to Georgina House on Green Lane in Tuebrook - at the other end of Kremlin Drive. | Ferguson, Minnie Louisa (I113)

| 170 | Robert (Bob) Ferguson was born in Park View, Dungannon, Ireland on 15 Feb 1878. It is believed he was a twin of his sister Norah. Some time between then and 1889, he moved with his family to Manchester, Lancashire, UK, where 2 further twin sisters, Minnie and Kitty, were born. Between 1891 and 1901, his family moved to Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. In 1899, Bob married Harriet Wright in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. They had a daughter, Norah, a year later, and then a son, Dick. And then in 1905, Harriet died at the age of 27. 18 months after the death of Harriet, Bob married a neighbour, Ellen Singleton (qv). In 1901, Bob described himself as an Engine Fitter's labourer. By 1906, he had progressed to the position of Stationary Engine Driver. He was still doing the same sort of work, at a rice miller's, in 1914. In 1915, he was a fireman at a grain warehouse, but by 1918, he had resumed his engine driver's job. Bob was apparently very sociable, and his friends had little difficulty in dragging him down to the pub for a few jars. On 11 Dec 1918, at the age of 40, Bob died of tuberculosis. | Ferguson, Robert (I2)

| 174 | Roger became a plumber on leaving school in 1912(?). He was a big, happy lad, always with a smile on his face. When WWI broke out, his father persuaded him to join the merchant navy, an occupation that protected him from the temptation to sign up as a soldier. However, when his ship docked in Durban (South Africa), he and his mates signed up. This was on 1st September 1917. He joined the 4th South African Infantry Regiment, as Private 17016. He clearly lied about his age on the application form to join the army, claiming to be 20 when he was 4 weeks short of his 19th birthday. Lying about one's age was encouraged by the recruitment teams of all the Allied armies during WWI. After basic training in South Africa, his unit embarked from Capetown on board SS Cluny Castle. This ship escorted some German POWs to Sierra Leone. It then continued to the UK, where they disembarked on 14th December 1917. Roger was then taken into the 2nd Reserve Battalion on 15th December, and had some leave just before Christmas. After further training, the whole unit embarked from Southampton on 1st April 1918. They arrived at Rouen, in France the following day. Three days later, on the 5th April 1918 , the unit made its way towards the front line near Ypres. The South Africans were holding a crescent shaped position that straddled the Messines-Wytschaete road, south of Ypres, with its right resting on the western edges of the Messines village, through the Moulin de l'Hospice, Middle Farm, Lumm's Farm to the north and then back to Petit Puits with a forward post at Romman's Farm. The 1st SAI was under heavy pressure from the Germans, so on the night of 10th April 1918, the 4th SAI was moved in to reinforce the 1st SAI . Roger was one of these reinforcements. On the 11th April, German General Sixt von Armin launched fresh attacks on the British front. This came under heavy pressure, and 2nd SAI was pushed back to a line 600 yards west of the Messines-Wytschaete road. Capt I. Greene launched a counterattack, using 2nd SAI and 4th SAI. This attack was led by Lt S. G. Thompson. The lost ground was regained, but casualties were heavy. It was probably during this counterattack that Roger was killed, on his 1st day of front line duty. His body, I believe, was not recovered. On the night of 13th April, the SA Brigade was relieved. In 4 days of fighting, they had lost 616 men killed, wounded or missing out of 1473. 278 were missing, nearly all killed. Roger was reported "killed in action" on 15th April, by Lt F. Peacock. A telegram was sent to Roger's parents. His father received the telegram, and, knowing the effect it would have on Roger's mother, Emily, he walked around with the telegram in his pocket for weeks before finally, forced by the absence of any letters from Roger, he had to reveal that Roger had been killed. According to my father, Emily's hair "turned white overnight". She was never recovered from the shock of Roger's death. Roger was subsequently awarded the British War Medal (1914-1918) and the Victory Medal. Roger's name is probably recorded on panel 15-16 or 16A of the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, which records all 4th SAI casualties. This is at Leper (Ypres or "Wipers"), WestVl aanderen (Flanders), Belgium. The memorial is on the eastern side of the town, on the road to Menin (Menen) and Courtrai (Kortrijk). It is possible that his death is recorded with the 1st SAI casualties instead. | Foster, Roger (I38)

| 175 | Roger disliked his own Christian name so much - because he was so mistreated by his own father Roger - that he was always known as Reg outside the family. Reg wanted to be an accountant, and his mother left him sufficient money in her will to allow him to train as an accountant. Unfortunately, his father, who appeared jealous of his aptitude for study, wasted the money and thus the opportunity. His father would even tear up books that Reg was studying. Reg thus became an electrician. He progressed very quickly, working at the AAE at Capenhurst. At MANWEB he became the manager responsible for dealing with all emergencies involving electrical supplies and often received a police escort to allow him to reach emergency sites quickly. | Foster, Roger (I9)
