Daniel Henderson, Edinburgh, Scotland.
« on: Tuesday 08 April 14 22:41 BST (UK) »
Searching for details about Daniel Henderson, born in 1881 in Edinburgh, married to Gladys Mary Portage in 1908 had one son Eric born in 1909 - came back to Southampton in 1923 - several trips to the USA and back  in 1927 Gladys came back to the UK and remarried in  Scotland  in 1941 and died in Morningside in 1944. 

Daniel was a tea trader and also a smuggler he ran out of money and died in the Bahamas but the records suggest that he died in Bermuda.  As far as I know the Scottish/British Registers were not notified of his death overseas. If anyone knows any details about Daniel or how to track him - any help would be greatly appreciated.
