William Preston FERGUS

                   Dear Cynthia, How nice of you to contact me. William Preston Fergus' first wife, Margaret Jane Morden, born 11 Feb 1854 in London, Ontario, Canada, was my ggmother's sister. She died in November 1880. I think Ina Fergus who shows up in the 1900 census with William Preston's family must have been Margaret Jane's daughter. I hope it's all right if I copy some of your information into my file about the William Preston Fergus family. If you know any more about Ina I would love to hear about it. By the way, did Margaret May Fergus marry a cousin as they both are listed as Fergus'? If I find more information on Margaret Jane Morden Fergus or Ina, would you like me to contact you? I don't have a lot of sources for them, but I can send what I have(mainly censuses) if you would like.
