Wills

• 1842: George Fergusson (the earlier, and MD, likely father of Wm.?) died with will, administered by the Prerogative Court. [Deputy Keeper's 55th Report]. This may possibly be the will of the first George Fergusson of Leixlip, who died in 1821. Difficult to reconcile with Medical Directory for Ireland for 1862, which had (the second) George Ferguson, MD, still listed in 1862 but gone by 1870. George, LRCSI, the MD was resident at Waltham Tce., Merrion Ave., Blackrock, Co. Dublin in Crolly's Directory for 1843.
