COMPLETE - John Mitchinson Henderson born abt 1883
« on: Friday 23 January 09 19:10 UTC (UK) »

John Mitchinson Henderson.

There is no record of any birth registered with this name.

He used this name on his marriage cert. to Sarah Birbeck in 1907 when their address was given as 56 Whites Buildings Heworth, Felling.
He was a 24 years old coal miner and his deceased father John Henderson a journeyman tailor.

Can anyone help, this is all the info I have.

Thanks

Emma

Hi Emma,

He may have done what one of my ancestors did, and added his mother's or grandmother's surname as a middle name at a later date.

Pity the 1911 isn't available for Durham, will try looking for his father in 1891/1901

I had thought that too, I had looked for the father but the only tailor I could find was in the workhouse in 1881 and 1891 so sort of dismissed that one as couldn't find him there.  The trouble is I haven't got a clue on the mothers name and John Henderson is quite a common name.  I am sitting next to one at the moment

There are several John Mitchinson's registered around that time

I would imagine he was born before the parents married (if they did) and was rgistered in mums maiden name - but later added Dad's name - or stepfather maybe.

I'll look fora Mitchinson/Henderson marriage

Already did Lizdb, there's one about 1840, a bit early edit that's a John Mitchinson & John Henderson on same page, so not even that one is ok!

Emma, the Henderson tailors in 1891 were both single.

I found a John Henderson, a tailor, born Whittingham Northumberland, in Coxlodge Northumberland with a son John 20 in 1901 census, John senior's  wife Ellen Parker Henderson nee Davies from Nottingham

Trouble is, without knowing a birthplace, or knowing how long his father had been deceased, he could be anywhere.  I would wait for the 1911 census for a birthplace and then try again, hopefully it won't be too long before Durham and Northumberland & N. Yorkshire are available

Thanks for that, I saw the John Mitchinson & John Henderson marriage ref when I looked last night and even checked the complete marriages just in case of a mistake.

there are so many people in Durham, Northumberland & N. Yorkshire that I want to get the 1911 records for as that is where my lot eventually settled.  before that they were all over the place.  But I have found my Gt Gt Gt grandmother on 1911 in Norfolk, was quite exciting.  I shall sit in wait for the wonderful north to come online.

Thank you both for having a look

Emma,

From a different direction.....

FreeBMD lists seven birth registrations within Gateshead Reg District ( which covered Heworth area) of Henderson children born to a mother with nee name Birbeck in period 1911-1925.

As you probably already know those children's names were...
Florence A, James, Dorrien M, Alex & May (twins ? ) Hazel and John.

But maybe eliminating the names you know to be associated  with the Birbeck line,  might leave you with  first names used by the Henderson family, hopefully leading to the "right" lot on a previous census ?

Hi Emma,

I have just started researching my family (only yesterday). It turns out that John Mitchinson Henderson is my great grandfather. His son James (aka Jimmy) was my grandfather.

The youngest son, my great uncle, is still alive so I am hoping to visit him soon to get as much information about the family as possible.

I would be really grateful if you could let me know what you have found out about the Hendersons prior to Mitchinson. I hadn't yet found his dads name so that was a big help. Of course if I can help you in any way I would be happy to do so.

Thanks,
Stuart

Stuart

I was going to send you a PM on here but notice you only have one post, if you send a  couple of replies to this thread it will let me send you one, 

This turned out not  to be my line, however, I do have a contact who might be able to help you.

Regards

Hi Stuart and welcome to rootschat
Sorry to amend your first post but we take great care not to put names of living people on our boards.   I hope you will be successful in your hunt and that great uncle knows all about it!

Thanks to both Emma and Andrea for your help. Obviously I am very new to this so not completely sure of the protocols for what can be posted.

Hopefully this site will continue to prove useful as I continue my search.

This is a fantastic site and full of very generous people and I am always amazed at how quickly people will reply to a topic. 

Happy hunting, Beware it is very addictive.
