Margaret Haldane Henderson Robertson, born Kinfauns, 28 March 1870, mother Bathea Robertson, no father named?

As the surname Henderson has been accounted for, have you looked for a Mr Haldane in the area in 1871 as a possible father?

Did she name a father on her marriage as that would narrow it down to a forename with occ. at least?

In earlier replies, Forfarian said:
There were only two Margarets registered in Kinfauns in 1869/70, and the other one, Margaret Small, is with her parents in Kinnoull in the 1881 census.
So it is quite likely that the father of Margaret Haldane Henderson Robertson was someone whose surname was Lawson.
Where Haldane comes in I don't know either.

Duh...I forgot Margaret's g/mother had a middle name Haldane i.e. named after her, Margaret Haldane Robertson (M.S. Henderson) the g/mother she was with in 1881
