Henderson   William   24   Linlithgow   Miner
Margaret   20      
John   1      
John   20   Trans to s/m   
Isabella   11

Could Isabella Henderson have been William Henderson's little sister?

I am wondering if William Henderson born 1849 has been found in the  1871 census for Crofthead, Whitburn in West Lothian?

Crofthead Iron-Stone Pits - parish of Whitburn, Linlithgowshire?

Apparently there were lots of children working in this mine so a hard life

This could be William's brother John in the mines
SP HENDERSON JOHN 1871 M 17 673/ 1/ 1 Whitburn West Lothian
(born in 1854 on the Strathnaven in 1874 and born in 1854 in the mines?)

Then there is this:
SP CASEY MARGARET 1871 F 17 649/ 18/ 1 Lesmahagow Lanark
(Which would be about correct for Margaret Hendersons age of 20 on the Strathnaven in 1874.)

I think this is William Henderson
(SP HENDERSON JOHN 1871 M 20 663/ 5/ 2 Bo'Ness West Lothian
Which would be about correct for William Henderson on the Strathnaven in 1874)

I would suggest buying this record to see if he was living with his parents

You know there are a few BUCHANAN's living in Leshmagow, Lanarkshire in 1971

Married Crofthead, Whitburn, West Lothian, Scotland?
I found this marriage:
SP HENDERSON WILLIAM married BUCHANAN MARGARET 1872 673/ 19 19 Whitburn

Could Margaret Casey have become a stepdaughter before civil registration? Then married under this name.
Might be a far fetched thought but checking out Margaret Casey in Leshmagow could be interesting to see if she is living with BUCHANAN's

The marriage as Margaret Casey to William Henderson certainly seems elusive in SP.
What does everyone else think?

Good finds, whiteout7.

There are nine Croftheads  in Lanarkshire, one in each of the following parishes
Avondale
Bothwell
Cadder
Carnwath
Crawfordjohn
Douglas
East Kilbride
Lanark
Stonehouse

Curiosity (and a few free credits) got the better of me.

Margaret Casey, 17, born Lanarkshire, Lanark, was a farm servant at Byre Town, Lesmahagow, in the 1871 census.

There is no 7-year-old Margaret Casey in the index to the 1861 census. There is a 7-year-old Margaret Cassey in Dalziel. She is the second surviving child of Peter Ca(s)sey (both spellings are used) and Mary Arbuckle, but her birthplace is given as Cambuslang not Lanark.

The children are Mary, born 1851/2 in Old Monkland
Margaret, born 1853/4 in Cambuslang
John, born 21 August 1858 in Old Monkland, presumably died young as he is not in the 1861 census
Agnes, born 20 May 1858 in Dalziel, presumably died young as she is not in the 1861 census
Andrew, born 24 June 1860 in Dalziel
Elizabeth, born 3 September 1862 in Cadder
Janet, born 20 October 1864 in Cambusnethan
Peter, born 2 March 1866, Cambusnethan
John, born 13 September 1868, Cambusnethan
Betsy, born 9 December 1870, Cambusnethan

Don't know yet whether any of this is useful information.
