Would Ebenezer have met her?

I think you just have to accept Horatio's son got the info wrong about his grandparents.  As I previously said, it does happens.  The marriage extract for Horatio and Elizabeth/Lizzie Henderson (1876) is you best bet for confirmation of Horatio's parents, since Horatio himself would have provided the information.  It should have his father as deceased (died 1868 I think) and Mary as still living.

[TW70]

Yep, I think that makes sense

Thanks for this.

Any ideas on how I get more info when I hit the 1700s?  Hitting a wall with John Weir and I think Elizabeth Robb as parents of Richard.  Would be keen to keep going if at all possible.

Hi Dave,

Do you mean how many brothers and sisters did your Grandfather, William have?  Quite a few Horatios in this family so just to be sure it's the right one

Hello again Dave,

Think your saying:

Horatio had bothers called William (your Gfather), Horatio, Abraham and James and a sister Marion - I think this is all correct except have Alfred instead of Abraham and also a Mary and another Ebenezer - think Marion may have died very young.  Your Gfather was the youngest.
Horatio jnr did have the 4 kids you named plus a James, Robert and Thomas.
What was the name of your uncle who remembered this?
