Hendersons of Linlithgowshire

[anne_p]

I tend to agree with you Rosinish
The only plausible explanation that I could come up with relating to the birth of John Henderson in 1873 was that his father took his marriage lines  to his son's birth registration and mother's name of Buchanan was copied over.

Forgot to add that John Henderson age 20 who was travelling aboard the Strathnaver with William, Margaret, 1yr old John and 11 yr old Isabella, will also be William and Isabella's brother.

John appears on the 1861 census with his parents but, is not on the 1871 return.
18yr old John appears to be lodging in Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire with a family named Connolly.
He was a pit-head miner.
Place of birth: Whitburn

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?

76 Berryhill Rows, Wishaw, parish of Cambusnethan.

I couldn't find a death of Mary Arbuckle or Cas(s)ey. Could she perhaps have gone to NZ later to join Margaret and family?

Has anyone found marriages/deaths in NZ for John and Isabella?

[anne_p]

Haven't looked yet for Isabella or John Henderson in NZ.

I could find no trace of Mary Arbuckle/Casey after the 1881 census but, I think that her son, Peter Casey may well be the man who married Margaret Irwin in NSW in 1893 and died in 1934.

Children were named:  Peter b 1894,  John Clyde b 1902,  Queenie b 1905 and  Andrew Alfred b 1908
Births Registered Stockton and Helensburgh NSW

1934 death index shows that this man's parents were called Peter and Mary.

Funeral announcement appears in Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate dated Tues 24 Jul 1934

Edit:
There were more children... just haven't located those births
This couple also had a son named William Casey who drowned in 1917 aged 16yrs
Son Andrew married in 1932 and names of thosein attendance suggest that he had other siblings Ie May and Charles.

There are plenty of articles on Trove re this family but, of course, only relevant  if he was Margaret's brother.

OH My Word... I may have found it!
On the 1881 census for widow Mary Arbuckle Casey, her  20yr old son Andrew is entered as "Seaman"

I've just found his death announcement... brother of Peter Casey of Coledale and of Mrs Samuel Hollows of Helensburgh NSW
This bit didn't take long...
Samuel Henry Hollows married Elizabeth Casey 1888 in NEW ZEALAND

Andrew died in 1910, and was the "Commodore of The Borneo's Shipping Co Fleet" and spent years in the trade in Hong Kong, Singapore and Java

we just dont know what really happend to william henderson married to margaret casey do we 

[anne_p]

We haven't yet found William but, after his arrival in 1874, the births of at least 4 of his children were registered  in the Buller District between 1877 and 1890 : William, Isabella, Peter and James

As the youngest known child, James was registered here in 1890,  it must place William Henderson in this area until at least 1889.
