Samuel HENDRIE bc 1838 & Mary CAMPBELL bc1829

[Ruskie]

I would appreciate some help tracking down Samuel Hendrie born about 1838 (place unknown).

His occupation is Blacksmith/Hammerman on his d/c and son's marriage certificate.

Samuel died in 1898 in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire.

I know Scottish census transcriptions leave a lot to be desired but I am hoping to locate Samuel in at least a couple of censuses, hopefully with parents and siblings. From his d/c his father is Samuel Hendrie, farmer, and his mother is Peggy (presumably short for Margaret) McCook (I believe but writing is a bit unclear).

I have not been able to find his birth either, so any help finding that would be an added bonus.

Thank you for any help.

Hi Ruskie ,

Do you have his wife and children's names ?

It may help find his birthplace on the Census.

Hi ev,

Thanks for the reply.

Samuel married twice:
First wife is Mary Campbell. Mary died in 1869. The line I am tracing is from their son John Hendrie b 1855.

Second wife is Elizabeth Rilson (I think this surname is correct). I don't have a date for their marriage (as this is not the line I am tracing).

I'm afraid I don't have any other children for Samuel with either wife. 

Samuel had a sister in Gartsherrie in 1898, mentioned in newspaper article related to his death, but I don't know her name.

Sorry not much help I'm afraid ....

Where was John born in 1855?

There is a Samuel Henry, blacksmith, b abt 1822-3 Ireland in Coatbridge/Old Monkland from 1871 with a wife Elizabeth and children include a son John bc1854 Ireland.

Samuel's birthdate not what you're expecting, I know - but an 1838 birth would make him a very young father for John.

Hi Ruskie -
Perhaps worth looking at his second marriage registration to find out Samuel's parents names.

Found 2 potentials on 1851 Census
Samuel Hendry   age 11   born Irvine Ayrshire   in Irvine
Samuel Hendry   age 14   born co. Londonderry           in Houston & Killellan  (occ. Calico printer)

Hi

1891 census has a Samuel Henry age 69 with wife Elizabeth 50 and son Samuel 20 at 65 Alexander St., Airdrie. Samuel senior is a retired smith and Samuel junior a coachbuilder. 1901 census perhaps has Samuel Jun transcribed as Samuel Henric in Bells St, Airdrie, a coachbuilder and with wife Mary. Samuel senior born Ireland

Note that there is a birth for Samuel Hendry with parents Samuel Hendry and Elizabeth Wilson 15 Feb 1871 in New Monkland.
