Thanks Millmoor, I have Margaret Kilgour Hendersons birth from 1859 in Glasgow, had seen the 1861 census and was trying to find a Jessie Aitken that was related with no luck. I still have some more digging around to do.

I can't find a marriage between Elizabeth and Finlay on SP. Any idea why he wouldn't be listed as Janets dad on her marriage/death cert if he was actually her dad?

Found the birth for Janet, she's listed as Illegitimate, and under Elizabeth is written - widow of William Henderson (grocer). It all fits, thank you so much for the help.

Hi

It looks as though Jessie Aitken was the daughter of James Aitken and Ann Brunton. 1851 census they are in Leuchars, Fife but in 1861 they are in Southport, Lancashire - so Jessie must have been visiting grandparents. 1871 they are still in Southport. Also in the household is mother in law Margaret Brunton age 70 and listed as a widow and sister in law Margaret Kilgour age 35 and married. Margaret Kilgour is a visitor. Jessie in 1871would appear to be recorded as niece in the home of David and Catherine Russell in Liverpool.


Marriage of James Aitken and Ann Brunton in Cupar 19 July 1847.

Hi

Suggest you have a look at the 1861 census for William Henderson Address Chapel Village, Abbotshall

James Henderson 69 Rd Labourer b Aucterderran
Mary Henderson 70 wife B Leslie
William Henderson 28 son grocer b Abbotshall. Unfortunately the space on the transcription is blank re married/unmarried.

And in 1851 the address is Cottar Houses Abbotshall. Father James is showing as an ag lab and victualler. William is 18, unmarried and a grocer's assistant. A brother James 24, a widower and currier is also in the household along with his son James 3.

There is a birth for William Henderson 2 Sept 1832 Abbotshall with parents James Henderson and Mary Paton.

Yes, definitely.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I had seen those census before thanks. Want to trace her actual father Finlay Ferguson now though. I think I've found a possible match in the 1871 and 1881 census but neither give much new information. What would be the best way to start tracing him given that I've got little info on him?

I appreciate the help.
