John Ramsay

There are quite a number of Elizabeth HENDERSON's baptised around Rothbury and Hartburn in suitable timeframes to have given birth to John, not just the one at Felton.

I know tracing family earlier than when registration began in 1837 is difficult, but I think this is what makes it really interesting (and frustrating!).

We might need to use a process of elimination to find the right parents, or look for other evidence like a will or other mentions in parish records (I see a Roger HENDERSON (pauper) of Green Leighton buried 31 Jan 1775 at Elsdon, for example - is he related to Elizabeth?)

I'm also interested in the William HENDERSON mentioned in the 1841 census that solidrock found.
