  • Notes 
    • Mary Grant Ferguson was born in Manchester, Lancashire, UK along with her twin sister Kitty on Feb 1st 1890. She was known as Minnie throughout her life. She moved home with her parents and 2 elder sisters to Liverpool, Lancashire, UK, some time between 1891 and 1901, when the family lived in Low Hill.

      Kitty her sister was very backward, and at an early age Minnie decided that her duty in life was to look after Kitty, and that this ruled out the prospect of marriage.

      Some time in the 1920s, or earlier, Minnie and Kitty moved from Rock Ferry to Seacombe in Wallasey, just 200 yards from the promenade along the Mersey. By 1945, but probably from much earlier, they lived in a large terraced house , where they kept numerous cats and dogs, mainly strays brought in by the local lads.

      Minnie was very gregarious, but had her work cut out looking after Kitty. She was very well spoken. She loved the theatre and went to the theatre in New Brighton to see shows. Panto was a big treat, right until her old age.

      Kitty died some time in the 1950s, leaving Minnie alone.

      Minnie died late 1976, in Wallasey.
