Hendersons and Deacons
« on: Friday 22 April 05 19:51 BST (UK) »
 8)I'm trying to find out about my ancestry from Ballybay, Monaghan. My last known ancestor from there was my great grandmother Ethel Henderson(maiden name, her married name was Baxter). There is quite a bit of mystery surrounding her because she was either illegitimate(soz if spelt wrong) or her mother remarried. I know she was definitely Henderson because I have seen my grandfather's birth certificate, but she had half brothers and sisters called Deacon. Her half brother was known as Bobby Deacon. Her mother may have been called Margaret, however this may be wrong. As for dates- nothing is certain. If she married my great grandfather (Kyle Baxter) then she may have been born around the 1890's.
Please help!

Hiya Tiger Lily,

I hope you have no objection to my clarifying what we are trying to find ..

A woman possibly named Margaret surname Deacon previously Henderson and maiden name unknown.

Have you no Christian names for her Deacon husband or Henderson husband?

You need to find an unknown number of siblings .. you only know of Bobby.

When did Ethel marry Kyle? About 1910 to 1920 if she was born in the 1890s?

It looks as though from the 1900s your family married at a fairly young age.
