The FULL title of that database on Ancestry is:

England, Select Marriages, 1538-1973

It doesn't claim to be complete! ;D

This is a mention of a Henderson Greenwell but only as a father!

This puts your Henderson too old????

Henderson Greenwell has been posted before on RootsChat. Title "Another Greenwell" by briann1
Briann is a ancestor of Mary Greenwell who you should see on my link.

There's a James Greenwell marrying a Mary Farol 14 Aug 1803 in

Marriage Place:    Sunderland, Durham

Could he have changed his name?

The Henderson Greenwell that Barry posted about is the one I was hoping to find the marriage of I guessed at a birth of between 1770 and 1800 and that marriage on the 1538-1973  England marriages popped up. Henderson may have been a middle name as there is no other mention of him apart from his daughters marriage

Anything with Select in the title on ancestry is from familysearch so its always worth searching on there if there is any info missing in the entry on ancestry. ;)

I could not find any reference to "Henderson Greenwell" in familysearch.org, Durham Records Online, Find My Past, My Heritage or ancestry.com except for daughter Mary's father on family search.org.

Stanhope, County Durham and North Carolina, America are places known for giving male last names as (male) children's' first names to honour (male) friends and neighbours. I do not think this applies to Henderson. Probably as has been said before he could a John H, or a James H. or Charles H. and he has just dropped the first name as he liked Henderson.
