Title: Relatives of Thomas Henderson,Kilkeel.
Post by: RoseUK on Monday 09 April 12 15:15 BST (UK)
Could someone look up information about my 2nd great grandfather's parents?

His name was Thomas Henderson,born c.1833. He married Mary Carson in 1871 at Drumlee Presbyterian Church, Banbridge, Co.Down. I don't know who his parents were, and would like to try and trace as far back as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Marriage certificates only list names of fathers- mothers are not included.

Hello again  :)

I second what Aghadowey says, mothers not included on marriage certs.

I found the marriage on Thomas Henderson and Mary Carson 1871 in Banbridge (PR). From a bit of messing around with names, Thomas's father is William Henderson.

Hi,
   There is a will, complete with image, of Alexander Carson of Ballyward who died on 7 Jan 1880 which you may find interesting.

 :) Thanks everyone.

Reading the will of Alexander Carson on PRONI was amazing. The only name i could not make out in it was his daughter Sarah's married surname. It did state she was living in Liverpool.

Can anyone else make out what her surname is?

"Sarah Carson or Martin of Liverpool"

Thomas Henderson, born 1833,died 1904. He married Mary Ann Carson(1837-1917). I think his father was called William. Lived in Derryogue, Kilkeel.

What i wanted to know is: did he have any brothers or sisters? He had a son called William Henderson,born 1877.
Are they related to a William Henderson from Cranfield,Kilkeel? If so, how?

Thanks. :)
