Thank you higgsy & MonicaL. I'm a neophyte to Scotlandspeople. I don't know if it's the site or if it's me, but it keeps timing out in the searches. 

Your assistance & direction is much appreciated.

Not sure what the problem could be  Are you being timed out when trying to do a search or view an image?

Norma, the 1871 census entry that you found for an Ann Henderson, stepdaughter with a reference to a James Procer....there looks to be a correction on the transcript to the name James Procer, to an Innes (female) Procer so the entry would look like:

John Procer 60, farmer
Innes (James) Procer 35 b. Leochel Cushnie
Arther Procer 13, son b. Monymusk
Ann Henderson 18, stepdaughter b. Leochel Cushnie
Elisabeth Henderson 1, granddaughter b. Monymusk
Alexander Irvine 18, servant
John Cumming 15, servant

Address: Neither Haugh, Monymusk Aberdeenshire

Possible marriage showing on IGI:

John PROSSER and Innes BERRY Marriage 9 AUG 1856 in Leochel-Cushnie, Aberdeen

And possible birth of granddaughter above:

Elizabeth HENDERSON b. 29 DEC 1869 in Monymusk, Aberdeen
Parents - Ann HENDERSON

Thanks Monica. This is the right family in the 1881 census.

Alexander (1st son) was my "lost Bain" boy for the longest time. He was the only living son that didn't come to Canada, settling instead in the United States. I don't know his middle name.

I note here that John's middle initials are I & P. Makes me wonder if the P stands for the "Procer" that higgsy found. Hmmm.

They had another son, Edward who died soon after birth. His middle name was Polson.

Ann's daughter Elizabeth b. 1870 looks to have remained with her maternal grandmother. From 1881:

Arthur Prosser 23
Mary Prosser 23, daughter in law
Arthur Prosser 1
John Prosser 1 month
Elizabeth Henderson 11, granddaughter b. Moneymusk
William Taylor 24, servant

Address: Lochhead, Skene Aberdeenshire

Hmmm. This would be a surprise. 

My family records show that there were 7 boys - no girls - born to Ann & Robert.

Admittedly, there may have been an illegitimate child before Ann's marriage to Robert, but it's not acknowledged in any of the obits for the boys & nothing was left to a girl in the disposition of the estate.

Is there anything that would tie the Ann Henderson from the Prossor family to the Ann Henderson higgsy found on the 1861 census who was born c 1854 in  Leochel-Cushnie and was living with grandparents William and Ann Dewar?
