Hendersons of Linlithgowshire

[anne_p]

That was very kind of you Rosinish.

It's adding up now......
Peter Casey and Mary Arbuckle lived at Bells Row on the 1871 census.
John Henderson was born at Bells Row in 1873

Gosh... I cant find it again without wading over the  last 13 pages but one of our RC members ( I think Forfarian) obtained the 1873  death record for Peter Casey.
Where did he die?

It was tidybrooks who obtained the 1872 marriage for William Henderson and Margaret Buchanan

Were Williams parents still living?

Hi Annie,

That is superb, that does it for me, Isabella, I tried place her last night, but was looking in the wrong geographical area.

I notice that I stated it was "Jean" but I have rechecked and it is "Ann", just a bit faded.

William should have been a bit younger,but 2 years not too much.

Well done, think that is sorted now. Just need to take time and sort it all out for Peter.

I think that the name Margaret Buchanan was an error on the 1872 marriage cert.
Should have read: Margaret Buchanan Casey

However, her son John born 1873 was registered by his father.
I think perhaps, William Henderson took his marriage lines when registering this birth, mother's name was copied, resulting in Buchanan

Also, I suspect that this is the death of William Henderson, husband of Ann McGill and father of William who married Margaret Buchanan or Casey

Kiwican, (Peter),

I think that we have found your great grandfathers marriage certificate, it was in a RC church in Whitburn, West Lothian (Linlithgowshire), bride and groom address showed as Muldron, West Calder. It was 17th June 1872, he was 24 and she was 19. Problem was her name was down as Margaret Buchanan instead of Margaret Buchanan Casey. Another error was father had been listed as Peter Buchanan instead of Peter Casey his wife was Mary Arbuckle. ( Not 100% on that, there maybe another reason for this error, but not found it yet.)

anne_p found that Isabella who was William Henderson, your GGF's sister, that did it for me.

I will send a copy od the MC to you, it is pretty faded, hope you can make it out.

Tom.

I think that the name Margaret Buchanan was an error on the 1872 marriage cert.
Should have read: Margaret Buchanan Casey

I am not convinced about this & think there's more to it 

I believe she's the correct person but the surname is an enigma.

An error on the marriage we could agree with but...

She's clearly Margaret Buchanan again on John's birth 

Both were literate i.e. I think a possible fall out with family & dropped the Casey?

I haven't looked for a baptism for her, I wonder if she did have a middle name?


Anne_p......Both sets of parents were alive when William & Margaret married & both were Miners.
