Many thanks for all the replies you sent me, the information is invaluable for making sense of family tree.

Birth date doesn't match what you have, but too much of a coincidence:

UK and Ireland, Masters and Mates Certificates, 1850-1927
Name: John Ferguson
Estimated Age: 47
Birth Date: 13 Mar 1804
Birth Place: Chartethurch, Hants
Issue Date: 10 Mar 1851
Issue Port: Berwick
Certificate Number: 39.562

EDIT: checked the image and birthplace is Christchurch and month of birth is November.

This may be him:

Merchant Navy Seamen 1835-1941

Last name: Ferguson
First names: John
Age: 43
Year of birth: 1802
Place of birth: Berwick Upon Tweed
County/country of birth: Northumberland
Series: BT115
Date range: 1845-1854
Piece number: 4

Although it has Berwick as place of birth the image doesn't actually say that - it just has Berwick written under his name so I'm presuming that's because he lived there. The only detail on the record is some codes for voyages.

I would like to find if at all possible the parents of John Ferguson who was born 1804 at Christchurch Hampshire.He was a seaman later becoming a master mariner [a ships captain I belive].He married Jane Jamison and lived most of his married life at Berwick on Tweed.

Many thanks.
