Hi,
I went to familyseach.org
Robert and Janet married 3rd Jan 1793 at St Cuthbert's Edinburgh.
Her father was Walter.
their daughter Janet was born 8th March 1793
their son David was born in Lauder, Berwick on 28th May 1798.
I can't seem to find Walter.
Are you in Scotland?
I went up to Edinburgh, booked a pc for the day at Scotlands people and was really pleased with their records. They even give the time of birth and deaths.
I hope this has helped.

im at the polar opposite of Scotland unfortunately.... south east...i appreciate the help but ive got all that information, i really need to get the parents of robert henderson which is proving very difficult!!! ive narrowed it down to 4 or 5 but cant find conclusive evidence to tie him to any of them.... very sad

check the census for Lauder - on maxwellanciestry.com (free)

David's family appears 1841 & 1851
Walter may be living with a older Robert (could be a grandfather or uncle) in 1841 - possiblility

also Walter may be living with a family called Armstrong in 1851 - ??

hi there,

I am descended from David Henderson - his son Robert emigrated to Australia in 1855.
