Hendersons of Linlithgowshire

[Rosinish]

Peter,

The names you see are from census records which are only the people in a household on the night the census was taken.

The info. included is names/ages/occupations/residence (at time census was taken) & place of birth.

I'm sure that it was Forfarian who located the death of William Henderson which stated that his parents were called Peter & Agnes

I can't locate William or these parents at 1841.

I find it odd that William and Ann/Agnes had 3 known sons ( William, James and John) yet none were named for either of their grandfathers... ie fathers listed on the death certs of William and Ann/Agnes?

if odd for you totally  Odd for my thinking

Anne..

Just to bring things forward & your right  ....

I looked at the death of Ann McGill or Henderson. She is described as the widow of William Henderson, miner, and daughter of Morton McGill and Ann, maiden surname not listed, or it might be McGill again.

So William was alive in 1861, but dead by 1872. Sure enough, he died in Whitburn in 1867, parents Peter Henderson and Agnes Thomson.

From the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses noted upthread William and Ann/Agnes McGill had
William, born 1846/7
James, born 1848/9
Agnes, born 1851/2
John, born 1852/3
Isabella, born 1862/3

From the IGI, they had
Marion, born 4 December 1857
Marion, born 8 December 1859
Isabella, born 23 May 1862
Margaret, born 10 May 1865

Of those, only Isabella was with her parents in 1871.

Marion Henderson, aged 0, died in Whitburn in 1858
Marion Henderson, age not listed, died in Whitburn in 1860
Margaret Henderson, aged 2, died in Whitburn in 1866

Of course it may be that 'a' Peter is missing as not all records have survived & you would expect the 1st son to be named Peter.

I don't know where/when they married?

you doing your best thanks for trying

[anne_p]

Rosinish,
I can't find any trace of the Henderson/ McGill marriage either.
Marital info was added to birth certs from 1861 onwards


Therefore, the parents marriage date and place should be entered onto the 1862 birth cert for the child named Isabella and also the 1865 birth cert for the child named Margaret.

You're right Anne but.....

I think we have spent enough of our own money for now on certs. to be honest.

Maybe Peter could join www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk & buy a few credits to view some certs. & census records which we could guide him through?

please let me know how to remburse you and i will my eyes so bad to do alot so let me know how

[Rosinish]

Peter,

I'm not looking to be reimbursed!

All I'm saying is I think we have spent enough of our own £ on this line (we also spend money on other queries) as well as our own.

If you join the site I gave you the link for, we can guide you through it to find the necessary docs. you need.
The site is very low cost & downloadable there & then i.e. no snail mail.

If need be, you could email them to Tom (Bookbox) who will gladly help decipher everything.
