Henderson Family - Fife to Australia after 1881

[DDJJake]

On the 3rd of December,1858 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland,
JOHN HENDERSON b. 1834 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
married
SARAH MCGREGOR b. 1836 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
Children:
JOHN HENDERSON -  Birth: 09 JAN 1860 Beath, Fife, Scotland
MALCOLM MCGREGOR HENDERSON -  Birth: 21 APR 1861 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
ANDREW HENDERSON - Birth: 26 FEB 1864 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
THOMAS HENDERSON -  Birth: 26 APR 1867 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
GEORGE HENDERSON - Birth: 25 MAY 1869 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
SARAH HENDERSON - Birth: 14 OCT 1872 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
ROBERT HENDERSON - Birth c. 1875 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland
JAMES HENDERSON - Birth c. 1877 Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland

By the 1881 Census, the father John, was a Linen Factory Manager
Andrew was a Plasterer
Thomas was an Engineer
No sign of John Jnr., or Malcolm, but all others lived in 13 Netherton Broad Street, Dunfermline.

No sign of any of the above folks in 1891 or 1901 Censuses in Scotland.

It is suspected that some, or all of them, emigrated to Australia some time after the 1881 Census in Scotland

George aged 11 in 1881 Census, may be the George Henderson who married an Ada Percy Taylor in Victoria, Australia in 1890.

Can anyone trace the possible journey to, and arrival in, Australia of any of the above blood-kin of mine, and any subsequent life events, if any, concerning them?
Aye

Just noticed the Australia in your topic heading...why not ask a moderator to move your post to the Australian board.  Many chatters have resources so you don't have to pay to view the Victorian bdm online.  Lots of keen people to help you

Malcolm's marriage certificate would give you his age and place of birth, parents' names including his mother's maiden name and father's occupation, however you need the registration number if you wish to purchase online [AUD$17.50] and immediately download an image of the registration

The information on the index is
HENDERSON Malcolm Macgregor born Scotland
HARRIS Mary born Ararat [Victoria]
1887  Reg#6310

You can search here for arrivals in Victoria - from Public Records of Victoria

I'll have a look for some bdm info for you shortly.

Karen if you search just using HENDERSON and NURNBERG and 1888 you will see a number of HENDERSON's including those you named.   Did Malcolm emigrate earlier?  Strange that the ship's embarkation was from a [Port F] - Foreign  The Fiche and Page nos often indicate a family together.  Some chatters have resources to see their Nationality and date of embarkation.  Sometimes you may also find occupations listed.  I don't have the resource.

Deaths that may be your family

These contributions are really great ... thank you all ..... I had had an enquiry from a lady in Victoria about our possible cousinship .... and .... the George aged 19 on The Nurnberg is clearly her Great Grandfather .... any more details that you kind folks can find, will make this lady [new to genealogy], and myself, very happy indeed .... especially as she is visiting Scotland next month!
