Title: Peter L. Henderson - where to find his photo?
Post by: Bredo on Saturday 17 September 22 22:03 BST (UK)
Hi.
My first post.
Peter Lindsay Henderson (1831-1881). You can read about him here: https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Peter_Lindsay_Henderson
Does anyone know where would be a good place to search for a photo of him?

  Welcome to RootsChat! My first thought was newspapers, but it is probably a bit early for pictures, and I could only find very brief obituary notices.
   Others more knowledgeable than me may have other suggestions.

 Welcome

Photography had been around in those infancy years but not used so much in newspapers only for big events - if any or important features. Family studio photo's were more common, thus its a slim chance some of these genealogical websites like Ancestry.co.uk or .com may have a family tree with a photo of Peter. L. Henderson - a slim chance but  ??? - you never know  :o

A quick check on trees held on Ancestry show none have images of this man.
