Title: Henderson family Portobello Midlothian
Post by: Kibble on Friday 03 January 14 17:38 GMT (UK)

Keen to follow fortunes of family of Alexander Henderson of Southfield Villas Portobello formerly Fife who died 1899. Daughters Eliza Clark Henderson (married William Matheson) Alexandrina Henderson and Margaret Waugh Henderson

Any clues to their marriages occupations etc welcome. Henderson too common a name to trawl through Edinburgh / Midlothian.

Scotlands People is the website to use to find marriages/deaths etc

You haven't given any birthyears or birthplaces for his daughters or any indication as to what is the last census entry you have them on under Henderson which would have been a starting point for possible marriages

Did you not check the 1901 census as both sisters are on it living with sister Eliza

You will need to check the 1911 to see if they are still unmarried at that time and if not found - use SP to check for marriages between 1901-1911
