Are you sure its not just the way it gets displayed on ancestry, having pulled the data from familysearch?  It probably refers to Mary his daughter rather than Mary his spouse.  Unfortunately the search of the Select records pulled from familysearch doesn't always work very well and often can appear with missing information in some views but not others?

I tried searching on Henderson's name on ancestry but nothing shows, which doesn't surprise me as there can be anomalies in their search results when someone else searches the same details.  Did the entry you saw show any other information such as film number of page number?  If yes, try comparing with a search against Mary his daughter or her husband to see if its the same reference, because if it is, then it refers to her marriage and not his.

I think it's actually an error in transcription by Ancestry!

What I am seeing is:
Name:     Henderson Greenwell
Gender:   Male
Child:      Mary Greenwell

Although, if I hover the mouse over "View Record" I see:
Name:     Henderson Greenwell
Gender:   Male
Household Members Names:
     Henderson Greenwell
     Mary Greenwell
     James Drummond
     James Drummond


My guess is that it's a marriage of Mary Greenwell to James Drummond; fathers James Drummond and Henderson Greenwell.
