Introduction

Katherine (Kate) and Isabel (Belle) Ayres are interred in the second and third partitions of a concrete grave near the Trousers Point Road on the property known as Koronavia, Flinders Island, where they both lived with Kate’s husband, William Hay Ferguson. William, the owner of that property since 1888, was interred there first and was Katherine's husband. She was his second wife, the first being Elizabeth Holcroft Ferguson, nee Hay, who lost her life in a shipwreck. Katherine, Belle and William NEVER lived in Moe, Victoria at any time, whatsoever; and this contributor wonders wherefrom that misinformation originated. Katherine Ferguson's granddaughter, Doreen Mabel Ferguson, lived in Moe from 1955 until 1959 and WIlliam & Katherine's second son John Alexander Ferguson and his wife, Dora May Ferguson (née Hammond) are interred together in the Moe Cemetery. This contributor is their eldest grandson and Doreen's eldest son. The Flinders Island Historical Society may have photographs of William and Katherine. I remember once seeing a photograph of them with a horse drawn dray at Koronavia, date unknown. Isabella Ayres is not buried at the cemetery on Koronavia. She died in Tasmania and is buried there. Katherine and Isabella were born at Longford in Tasmania. Bella came to Flinders Island to help her sister with her children as she had been working as a nanny in Tasmania.
