Hendersons of Linlithgowshire

Peter, the MC would have to be your decision.

It depends on how keen you are to find out any details?

I don't know how much that is in English £s?

Can you tell us where in Oz your g/father & g g/father went to work please if you know?

Was it the same place as Elizabeth Casey married (Palmerston, Otago)?

Can you confirm when it was William went missing?


Anne_p,

Do you think Margaret may have come over from Oz to marry in NZ?

Would she have had to state where in Oz she'd lived or would she only need to give her daughter's address?

I wonder who the witnesses were?

Palmerston, Otago is in New Zealand.

Still trying to figure out how you know this is Margaret Caseys sister, Paperspast?

Palmerston, Otago is in New Zealand.

   Duh....

Was just testing you were all more awake than I am 

Think at times only half of my wee brain works.

I actually know where it is & know someone who lives there

Lol, I write stuff I don't mean all the time.

The New South Wales bdm could offer two William Hendersons that might be William Henderson that was married to Margaret Casey. (search between 1894 and 1936). If he died in NSW?

HENDERSON  WILLIAM 9885/1916 WILLIAM ANNIE E STROUD

HENDERSON  WILLIAM 1878/1912 WILLIAM MARY HURSTVILLE

Hurstville is in Sydney this is the closer of the two to Helenburgh NSW where Elizabeth Casey was ....

Perhaps Margaret Henderson (nee Casey) came home to her married daughter Isabella Brooking in 1912 and then remarried in 1916? (Margaret Henderson would have been about 62 years old on second marriage?)

hi i got an email from archway nz they said no record of william and maragaret divorcing  so i guess he did die either in australia or in new zealand thats all they said they could help me with

[kiwican]

i hird that he was offerd some land or compensation for what reason i dont know and then they said he went to australia i got that from my auntie years ago but didnt take it quiet  in to my head over my sholders at the time but its comming back now i tryed looking at mining grants and gouvenment grants couldnt find  any for him

The thing too is, without any real proof of anything from when William disappeared you need to keep an open mind.

If he did 'do a runner' then after 7 yrs of no correspondence etc. he could then remarry!

I'm not saying he did but there's always that possibility.

I'm unsure how it would work as I've no experience of such things but I would have thought that Margaret would have had to have had some kind of legal paperwork declaring William deceased (even if he wasn't) & if there was no paperwork of such (if it would have been required) then she maybe knew more than she let on & found out that he had died?

Not sure I've worded that properly for others to understand?

Maybe someone with more knowledge would know the procedure & know where to look?

See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=773229.msg6265135#msg6265135. Mary Arbuckle or Casey's son Andrew was named as brother of Elizabeth Hollows.
