To conclude. John's mother's MS was Brown.

I still cannot connect my matches Henderson line to my own however I am off to look again at the John Henderson b ca 1781 at the top of my tree. I have never found a BC for him only a MC. I will look for him in Irish records given the information posted by SS.

Thanks to all and especially SS for your efforts on my behalf.

Thanks GC1. As you say a long shot but Lanarkshire encouraging.
