William HENDERSON (1849-?)
« on: Friday 09 June 17 20:54 BST (UK) »
Hi all.
Looking for a bit of help with the above if possible please:

William Henderson - born 28.08.1849 in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland. Living at home with his parents and siblings in Jedburgh on the 1851 and 61 censuses, but then disappears.
However:
There is a 1911 England census that gives a William(61) and Christian(60) Henderson, both born in Jedburgh, living in Heaton, Northumberland with daughter Janet(35) and son William(17).
There is a 1901 England census that gives a William L (51) and Christina (50) living in Elswick with daughter Janet (25) and William R(7).
There is an 1891 England census that gives a William (41) and Christian (40) Henderson living in St Matthew, Westgate with son Thomas (12) and daughter Margaret H (eight)
All of the children were born in England.
After searching the GRO for births in Northumberland given the info on the 3 censuses above I suspect that Christian's surname was Rutherford. However I have been unable to find a marriage for the two of them either in Scotland or England. For the record the children I found who are potential children of this couple are:

Isabella Jane 1873 J Rothbury Vol 10B p437
Janet 1875 S Stockton vol 10a p111
Thomas 1878 S Stockton vol 10a p73
Margaret Helen 1882 S Gateshead vol 10a p857
William Rutherford 1893 D Newcastle vol 10b p5

I have also found a possible death for Christian (1915, December quarter aged 64) but nothing for him.
It's a shame English birth certificates don't give details of the parents wedding, unlike Scotland ones, as that would give me an obvious route to go down, but if anyone can help me fill in a blank or two here, or suggest a way I can do so I'd be most grateful.
Cheers
Stuart

Radcliff - thanks very much for your help with this. I assume that it is possible to order a certificate from as far back as 1872?
How on earth did I forget about the FreeBMD site?!

Hi Trish
Thanks very much for the 1881 census info, plus the rest of the info on Christian's family. Once I've got the marriage certificate and (hopefully) confirmed this is the correct William then I'll happily add it to the other three.
