| Notes |
- In New Zealand, Andrew ran a newspaper, the “Tuapeka Times” in the small town of Lawrence, near Dunedin, in the south of New Zealand’s South Island. The Tuapeka Times was published in Lawrence, in Central Otago from 1868 to 1941. The Times was started by Andrew Ferguson, Andrew Burns and John Ludford. In 1869 the men took over the rival Tuapeka Press (1866-1869) and in 1881 sold the enterprise to Thomas and Richard Pilling.
Andrew Ferguson first appears on the New Zealand electoral rolls for the years 1875/76 as being a householder in Ross Place, Lawrence, Tuapeka. No occupation is given but the house is described as freehold wood and iron house. On the 1880/81 electoral roll Andrew is described as being a journalist with a freehold in Lawrence, Tuapeka, being part of section 6, block iii and sections 1, 2 and 19, block xxvii.
