The Disappearing Hendersons!

[JosiahS]

Hello There

George Henderson married Mary MacClean in Felton 3 Oct 1749.  I presume he is the one born Stannington 1718 but have no real idea of where she came from.

In 1754 they appear in Warkworth and have 4 children there, Anna 1754, Margaret 1757, Christopher 1761, and Jane 1765.

None of them die in Warkworth, and Christopher, from whom I am descended, reappears in Newcastle All Saints at his marriage to Margaret Turnbull on 3 May 1785.  He is a Cabinet Maker and therefore, a different one, I assume, to the C.H who married Sarah Machie in All Saints in 1778 as he was a bricklayer.

Can anyone help me find George and Mary between 1749 and 1754, and again after 1764??

Are there any apprenticeship records around for Newcastle as to be a Cabinet Maker Christopher must have served an apprenticeship.

All help and advice appreciated

Hi Bigsis

I managed to get a look at a transcript - what seemed to be their aboude was 'ye Helm' - on the transcript her name could have meen MacClean or MacDean - the second name didn't have an upper case 'c'.

If you have access to an original I'd be very grateful for your opinion.

Cheers

Thanks Bigsis

Was the wife's name clearly MacClean??

I've just had a look at a map of 1769 - Helm is a village about 2 miles south of Felton - the current A1 passes right by it.  There is also a Little Helm.
