Find Ancestors

We always pass our local church yard each morning during the school run...so today i thought i would go in and read some of the head stones...there were no more than six large stones still standing,the rest were flat....but the one which caught my eye was in very good condition,and very readable...It was the grave of Alexander Logan Ferguson who died in 1858 aged 82yrs....if i have this correct also a Ruth ferguson who died in 1920 age 21yrs and also an Alice ferguson i think she was Alexander's wife....i think i have found Alexanders birth......
Alexander Logan ferguson 4th Q 1875 Birmingham,warwickshire....i though it would be nice to trace any living family members...as the grave just looks so sad......
