Henderson/Watt Family Line

[Heliotrident]

Hi folks, hope everyone is doing well.

I am not sure what is classed as a beginner but I been researching my family Genealogy just less than a year now. So I am still pretty new at this. And I have a general question and looking for some ancestors.

I know that the Henderson surname is form Scotland, but was wondering when did part of the family move from Scotland to Ireland as the Henderson's I am looking for is in Ireland, Antrim, Larne.

There are two sets of Parents that I am looking for and it's for Robert Henderson and Mary Watt.

Details that I have:
Robert Henderson: Born 1861/mm/dd and passed 1915/04/21, His Father and Mother is the one set I am looking for and only info I have is (Father: John Henderson).

Robert Married Mary Watt on the 1882/01/02 Ireland, Larne Most of them are form the Church of Ireland

Second Set is Mary Parents:
Mary Wat : Born 1863/mm/dd and passed 1887/09/21 her Father(Stewart/Stuart/Steuart) Watt
On the Marriage Doc  I have his name look like it's written as Steuart so not sure of the spelling.

Thanks all

Is this the right 1911 entry for Robert?

Where did 1861 as Robert's year of birth come from? The census?
On his marriage to Mary Watt, he is a minor (under age), and he was 50 when he died in 1915. This suggests a year of birth closer to about 1864.

Both 1901 and 1911 census have his place of birth as Antrim

Hi CaroleW that is correct but I can't seem to go further back.

At  Neale1961, yes they both was minor as per the Marriage certificate I have.

If you take both the 1901 and 1911 Census that years minus his age you get 1861

I used the Census and https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ but as above  I can't seem to go further back

As you will see Robert was married twice 1st Mary Watt and 2nd Mary Jane Wallace.
As Mary Watt passed away for Child birth( my 2rd Great Grandfather)

I think they are both shown as minors on the marriage certificate of 2/1/1882.

Added - There was also a son named Charles baptised 2 Oct 1860 to this couple. The sponsor's name looks like McANLEY.
