  	Witnesses to the marriage were Frederick John & Dora E Gaskin. I have no idea who they were.
  		Robert Ferguson marriage to Ellen Singleton 1906 Robert Ferguson married Ellen Singleton on 21 Oct 1906, at St Benedict Church, Everton, Liverpool. Why Ellen's father's name is given as John, I have no idea. It was Henry, he was a van man, and there was no John Singleton with daughter Ellen in Liverpool!
  		A wedding couple: Robert Ferguson and Nellie Singleton, 1906 We believe this to be Robert and Nellie, and believe it to be taken in celebration of their wedding. The photo is in the possession of Rob Henon, Bob's grandson. Nellie was living with Rob's parents when she died in 1958, and this was probably one of a number that she had kept for many years. The photo was possibly taken on their wedding day, 21 Oct 1906.

• Notes

  Ellen was born on 17 May 1887. She was the 2nd child of 6 known children born to Henry Singleton and his wife Elizabeth (Lloyd). Of these children, 4 were girls. She married her 1st husband Robert Ferguson (Bob) in 1906. He was 28 and had been widowed the previous year, and had at least 2 children, Norah who was 6 and Dick who was younger. Robert lived 2 doors away from Ellen's family in Elmore Street, Walton. Their marriage lasted 12 years until Robert's death from TB in 1918. They had 6 children together between 1908 and 1918, Allan, Robert, Ellen (Nellie), Minnie, Catherine (Kitty) and finally Elizabeth. However, the family's life was marred by tragedy: Norah and young Robert both died in 1915, and Kitty and Allan both died in 1918. Following the death of her husband in 1918, with 4 children to bring up, Ellen found life very hard. She was a courageous woman and soldiered on. Eventually, in 1922, she married the man who delivered coal to her door, Edwin Hilton , a 40 year old who had not previously been married. He too lived in the same street as Ellen! His brother and sister, with whom he lived, were most unhappy at his taking on a widow with 3 children (by then Dick had left home). Ellen was a restless woman, and moved home frequently. She had a rather cutting sense of humour. When, during World War II, her eldest daughter, Nellie, first introduced her husband to be, Harold Henon, to her mother, Ellen's comment was that the only explanation for her attraction to him must have been the blackout! Her last home was Edensor Terrace off Breck Road Liverpool, Lancashire, UK, where she occupied 1 room in her daughter Nellie's house. TYPE Address (Facts Pg) DATE 1922 (Medical):Ellen died on her way to an outpatient appointment at the Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK.
