WILLIAM STENHOUSE - MARGARET ???
« on: Tuesday 20 December 11 20:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

I'm wondering if anyone can help me.  I'm looking for information on a marriage of a William Stenhouse to a Margaret (surname unknown) sometime between 1885 and 1991.  What information is on this marriage record.  I'm wondering if this is the son of George Stenhouse & Mary Ann Gregor.  In the 1891 census they have a son George aged 1 month.

Many thanks

Have you looked at young George's birth registration on ScotlandsPeople?  You can view the entry for a small amount (in credits) and it should include the date of their marriage in addition to Margaret's maiden name.

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

You can then go for the marriage entry and find both sets of parents' names.

Hi! I believe George died and was buried in Australia.

I’m related to the Stenhouse family as follows:

John Wilson Stenhouse (1874-1931) coalminer, gaoled trade union leader, shire president
Birth: 22 April 1874 at Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland, son of James Stenhouse (1854-1928), miner, and Mary Baillie, née Wilson (1853-1918). Marriage: 1899 at Minmi, NSW Australia to Janet Johnston (1881-1941). They had two daughters. Death: 30 August 1931 at Belmont, Lake Macquarie, New South Wales. Religion: Presbyterian.
Arrived in Sydney on 6 December 1878 with his parents aboard the Hanaford. Like his father, who worked at the Duckenfield and Back Creek colliery and in 1884 was a representative of the Minmi miners, John Stenhouse also became a miner.
Lived at West Wallsend from about 1889. In 1903 electoral roll, both James and John Wilson Stenhouse were recorded as miners.
