| Notes | Belgium Order of the Crown - Officer Alexander Manuel Ferguson, DSO, MC, ED. Orders- Belgium Order of Leopold II AM Ferguson was Belgium Consul in Auckland from 1910s, and was followed in this role followed by his son, Lt Col. John Burns Ferguson. During WW1 he played a major role in fundraising efforts for Belgium, and was a member of the Auckland Auckland Provincial Patriotic and War Relief Association. Born in British Guiana and educated in England and Geneva, Alexander Ferguson migrated to New Zealand in 1881.

He subsequently worked for the firm of John Burns and Co. and married John Burns' only daughter, Agnes Marshall Burns, known as Nessie, on 9 December 1899. He inherited the role of Belgian Consul from his father in law who held that position from 1898. Alex and Nessie Ferguson lived at Eristone, 3 Corbett-Scott Ave until circa 1925. Alex Ferguson died in 1942. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
