James Tennent and Mary Henderson
« on: Friday 27 July 18 19:08 BST (UK) »
Hi all
I have come to a brick wall with regards to James Tennent and Mary Henderson.
James , i believe was born in Edinburgh about 1724 and married Mary Henderson Aug 14 1748 at saint Cuthberts Edinburgh.
Mary was born in Edinburgh June 16th 1717 and died in Dec 1758. Her parents are possibly John Henderson and Agnes Dundas but i have no absolute proof of this.
Any help in overcoming this sticking point would be fantastic , especially with regards to James.
Thanks in advance
Richie

JAMES   TENNENT   MARY HENDERSON   14/08/1748   St Cuthbert

Children St Cuthbert
James 1749
Mary 1751 burial 1751
Hugh 1753 burial 1753
Mary 1753
Katren 1754 burial 1756
Hunter 1758 – Two marriage records to Marion Bizzet 1785 & 1790, Cramond

James age 36 (1724) burial 13/09/1760

I cannot find Mary burial 1758 and not sure about her birth year as being 1717?

A number of possibilities for James, such as the one below, the nearest to Midlothian but there are others elsewhere.

JAMES TENENT parents HUGH TENENT & CHRISTIAN RUSSELL 24/10/1725 Abercorn, West Lothian
