Edmond 'Eddie' Alexander Ferguson

Edmond divorced Christina in 1957, but is said(by his great granddaughter) to have been living with another women when she was a young girl. The woman(possibly second wife) also had a child, possibly 'Sharon'.

A family friend's email to Tanya Hoeben confirmed that Edmond's brother-in-law Jose 'used to tour with the circus as a strong man, his wife used to lift aVolkswagen, lying on her back and push it up with her legs, under the back axle. He was super strong. The weights you see are for real(see photo in Christina'a media). For a time your grandfather, Edmund Ferguson used to tour with him, his act was to lie on a bed of nails and have Jose break a slab of cement on his chest with a 14 pound hammer.'

Edmond apparently died dancing and fell on the 'point of a table' in 1968.
