Death certificate, scanned copy supplied by Helen Stallman via Shirley, read directly this session. Upgrades the existing index-only citation (Australia Death Index, source 1112). States '2 males deceased' though the tree records only one deceased son of this marriage (Lawrence William Ferguson, d.1931) - flagged as an open lead, no second deceased son identified. Ages given for the five living children (39/37/36/34/31) are each 1-2 years off ages computed from their tree-recorded birth years (1906/1907/1909/1910/1912) - informant estimate, not preferred over the tree's dates.
