The book 'The Ulster Bank Story' by Lyn Gallagher mentions T J Ferguson on page 215 in the chapter on 'Juniors'. It records a Maureen Nash being interviewed by Ferguson in 1940 and at the end of the interview she was asked to start immediately. This date may indicate that Ferguson was already a member of the bank management and in a position to conduct interviews.
Stanley Ferguson is discussed in this website countydown in an article about a Banbridge firm, Edenderry Works and Thomas Ferguson and Co Ltd. The article says that Stanley qualified as a solicitor and may have been the Chairman of Ulster Bank in 1906. This is confirmed in the book 'The Ulster Bank Story' by Lyn Gallagher.
