Title: Edward Henderson, Rhodesia
Post by: henders26 on Thursday 05 February 26 12:26 GMT (UK)
Edward Henderson b. Sept 1878, lived in Gateshead 1920-ish then moved to the Copperbelt in Rhodesia, Mining Engineer.

Did he marry? Did he have children there?

Any advice would be useful, I can’t seem to find any information about his life there.

Thank you.

It’s quite difficult finding records there unfortunately but there are some people here with more knowledge.

Was he a single man when he left?  He would have been in his 40’s by then.
