Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Jane Annie , Enniskillen
« on: Thursday 12 January 17 18:45 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find out which Henderson family my g gm Jane Henderson (b1843) belongs to. Her father , according to her marrige certificate was William.

Other papers from her brother Thomas (b 1841)state he was from Ulster and Enniskillen was mentioned.

This photo was among her things. 
Writing on the back says "From Jane Annie to Aunt Jane. Age 21.

(The other names have been added by my aunt so were not originally there.)


The inscription on the front says "Mercers Enniskillen"
I'm hoping i can establish when the photo was taken as it might lead me somewhere. I'm assuming this Jane Annie was her  sibling's daughter.

Her obituary mentions 2 sisters in Ireland and 1 in America.

The small photo next to the Ennoskillen one is of my g gm Jane taken in Adelaide  Australia.  The likeness between her and her niece is obvious.

Help much appreciated.

Fermanagh / Jane HENDERSON, Enniskellin, Fermanagh
« on: Wednesday 11 January 17 18:26 GMT (UK)  »
All i know about my G Gmother is her name, Jane HENDERSON, born 1843.
Her marriage certificate shows her father as William HENDERSON.
From  her obituary  I  think she came to South Australia  In about 1866.

Her brother Thomas, born 1841 was in Adelaide SA too. In papers he left in our city library  his son said he was an Ulster Scot  from Enniskillen. 

She named her children Emily Jane, Marion Bishop, Helen Crozier, Bessie Olive and Allen Thomas.

Her husband was Thomas Allen WHITING.
I listed the names because I'm wondering if these hold clues to her mother and father's names. Maybe her mother was a CROZIER as that seems like a surname.

She met and married her husband in Aust and as far as i know she never went back to Ireland.

In her obituary there's mention of 2 sisters in Ireland and 1 in America.

Among her photos  there's one of a young woman who looks identical to her and written on the back is a message  "from Jane Annie  to Auntie Jane. The photo has Mercer Enniskillen stamped on it.

I'm stuck and stumped. There are a lot of Hendersons in Northern Ireland and although I've  found many families i don't know how to work out which is hers. Any help is appreciated.
