Notes for Ann Ferguson:

QUESTION: IGI shows an Ann Ferguson ch 4Aug1842 in Kilchoman (on Islay), Argyll, Scotland with parents Findlay Ferguson and Janet Currie. These parent names fit well with the children's names (compare 'Janet Currie' with 'Janet Carrick' and Findlay with Finlay) and Ann's age (assuming she fudged her age a little on the census).
Jane Harvey, Walter Semple's 2nd wife, is also from Kilchoman.

Notes for Peter Semple:

RESEARCH: Death notice gives his parents as 'Mr & Mrs Peter Semple of Twechar'. This matches well with their place of residence in 1891. The age is a couple of years off but otherwise it fits well.
