Aberdeenshire / Re: Parents of Ann Henderson (abt 1853 -1923)
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 12:13 BST (UK)  »
Sorry havent been in touch recently. Yes you have found my great grandfather. He did seem to move around alot and have various jobs. My grandmother was Rachel and William was still a coachman when she was born and they were at Nether Mains of Tertowie - she was born just over 2 weeks after they married. Jane was then born in 1899 and they were staying at Woodburn Cottage, Kinnellar and his occupation was stone quarrier. I had visited the registry office in Aberdeen where you can look at the paper registers and this is also how I found William originally as I knew how old he was, which parish he had said he was born and just looked at the likely year for a William with a mother Ann Henderson as I had by then got her name from his marriage certificate. Looks as if Rachel was still with her parents in 1901 but I presume she later went to stay with the couple she knew as her grandparents. This did happen quite a lot where there were a number of children.
I have still a lot to do on this part of my tree and must spend time getting all the bits of paper I have in some sort of order.
I do have a paper cutting about Henry Bain's death but cant lay my hands on it just now. When I do will e-mail it to you

Hi Malky

Not sure where he was in 1891 yet but in 1897 when he married he was a gentlemans coachman at Tertowie house which is nearby and gave his address as East Auchronie and I have photos of him in his uniform. His wife to be stayed at Backhills, Kinellar in 1891. He certainly treated Mr & Mrs Masson as his parents and his first born daughter (my grandmother) was brought  up by this couple. She was born in 1897 and at that point he gave his address as Nether Mains Tertowie.

In 1891 he may have been travelling with the family at Tertowie House but havent checked that address yet to see if they were at home. I still have lots of things to check and I think the family moved around quite a bit later

Hi Malky

My William was brought up with John Masson whose wife was Annie McLennan but they stayed at East Auchronie, Kinellar, a small farm  (which is near Skene) William was their only family. I havent investigated John's family so not sure if your wife's  Masson relatives are related. I know that John Masson died at Kirktown Skene on 7 Feb 1925 aged 84 and he was married about 27.6.1867 as I have a copy of the banns recorded at Kemnay

I have photos of William and his adoptive parents but none of Ann so would be really pleased to get a photo of Ann and Robert. I have read your message with instructions to contact you via personal message and I will have a stab at that tomorrow.

Hi RedMystic

Good to hear from you. I have double checked and at William's marriage on 12 January 1897  he gave his mother as Ann Henderson now married to Robert Bain so he is definately a son of your Ann didnt realise that she also had a daughter prior to that so Elizabeth  is another little twig on the tree.

Ann Henderson is my great,great grandmother. She had a son William Henderson born 29.1.1872 at Woodlands, Dockenwell, Cluny paternity was later added with father William Catto of Belhelvie. I had great difficulty finding William Henderson as from a young age he was known as William Henderson Masson and was brought up by a Mr & Mrs Masson near Skene. I have been trying to find out if the Massons were related in some way but the nearest I have got is that Mrs Masson's mother's maiden name was Henderson. My paperwork is a bit disorganised at the moment but I have written on some of my notes that a John Henderson was Ann's reputed father but I cant recall where I got that information. When I get time I'm going to see if there are any church records from around 1853 which mention Innes Berry of John Henderson which might shed light on this. My Mum would never discuss the possibility that her grandfather wasnt the son of the Massons  but she did tell me that her Mum spoke about how upset she was when Henry George Bain was killed in an accident on 12.10.1918 and had kept the death announcement from the newspaper.  He was her Dad's half brother but she had never explained to my Mum what the connection was (she maybe didnt't know exactly). I live in Aberdeen, so many years ago I spent some time at the registrars trawling through the registration books, before information was on the internet.   If I find any more about Ann I will post.
