Hendersons of Linlithgowshire

Annie,
This is also where I came unstuck and could not positively identify William or Ann/Agnes on earlier census

William Henderson's place of birth shows on all census returns as: Crawfordjohn, Lanarkshire
Ann/Agnes McGill's place of birth fluctuates between Ireland and Maybole, Ayrshire ( no difference eh!)

Thanks Anne,

At least he's consistent 

I think we all need to take up shorthand

  I see I've been beaten to it - just as well because I too had forgotten

Quote from Forfarian
"I looked at the death of Ann McGill or Henderson. She is described as the widow of William Henderson, miner, and daughter of Morton McGill and Ann, maiden surname not listed, or it might be McGill again."

I am reposting the 1861 census

William Henderson   43 Ironstone Miner b Crawfordjohn, Lanarkshire
Agnes Henderson   38
William Henderson   13
Agnes Henderson   9
John Henderson   8
Mindy Mcgill   84 Father in Law b Ireland ( this must be Ann/Agnes's father)


There does not appear to be a death in Scotland for anyone who fits the profile of Ann/Agnes's father.

On the offchance that anyone else looks at this man....

I think we can discount Montgomery McGill who died in MAYBOLE 1864 aged 83yrs
Census data states he was born in Ayrshire
Married to Robina Porteous in Maybole 1814.
All children born in Maybole or Dailly and no child named Ann or Agnes appears on any census or listed among the births on FS.

Forfarian,
Can you tell us the occupations for the fathers of  both William and Ann which should be stated on their death certs?

Anne....

Talk about MI5....this is like MI LIVE 

I have a wee bit of a sense of humour & a bit of poetry in me! 

Our questions show interest though!
