The couple were married on 15th January 1866, and have had three sons and five daughters. There have been twenty-one grandchildren and one great-grandson. Three grandsons and one son-in-law are serving in His Majesty's forces.

As ayoung man, Mr. Ferguson was a sergeant in the Fife Militia, and about three years ago he retired from the position of manager of the Dunfermline Co-operative Society's Coal Department in North Inglis Street. A position which he had held for thirty years. As a hobby, Mr Ferguson went in for poultry breeding, and in this connection, was well known throughout the district.
