Hi George, What a wonderful post you made to the FERGUS newsgroup - thank you. I extracted the above and will see if I can find any listing in my research papers and when I return again in January. I know that the Griffith's Valuation is about 100 hrs. later but I thought you might be interested to know that there are 3 FERGUS listings for Co Antrim in case they might relate back to your John. They are: FERGUS, Charles Co Antrim, Shankill, Smithfield Townparks Sackville Place FERGUS, Jane Co Antrim, Carrickfergus Middle Division FERGUS, James Co Antrim Cranfield, Cranfield Of course, you are aware that there is LITTLE to nothing available in information for 1750's - that is the time frame I am searching for "my" Francis FERGUS, born 1752 in Co Tyrone. I've made up an index card and will reference it while researching in Belfast. Any other requests you might have?
