Historical Record of The Henderson Branches of my Family as at 25 September, Henderson Tartan

1 Historical Record of The Henderson Branches of my Family as at 25 September, 2006 Henderson Tartan Part I - Report on Research done in 2002 and 2003 The presentation of precise information that attempts to show the exact dates, contexts and circumstances of the births, marriages and deaths of one's forebears is nigh well impossible. This conclusion is based on the fact that such data has always relied on the accuracy of the details that informants have communicated, orally, or in the form of certificates, to any registrar employed by the state since 1855, or to parish authorities before that time. Certainly the recording of data by law with the General Register Office (GRO) of Scotland from 1855 improved matters in the sense that registration coverage of the population, formerly estimated at about 30 to 40%, has risen today to 100%. However, even in the reading of post-1855 records at the present time, including the Censuses from 1841 to 1901, a number of frustrations still tend to face researchers in the form of flawed informant testimony, forename and surname spelling inconsistencies, and poor legibility of registrars' handwriting. While the afore-mentioned faults may also apply to earlier parish registrations, gravediggers' records and gravestone inscriptions, the additional inconvenience of travelling to locate such data can also prove to be expensive in time, money and energy. Apart from the current availability of official post-1855 records from GRO, the indexing of what may be called 'the 40% parish records' pre-1855 has also been done back to 1553 by the GRO, as well as to a large extent by the Mormons in Utah at Although both agencies provide access to much of this material on the Internet, what they do not provide are the family blood linkages between various entries. These links have to be traced by problem solving via child naming tradtions, 'trial and error' searching, deducing and matching. This can be fascinating and rewarding, but it is certainly very time-consuming. As far as post-1855 records are concerned, a growing number of digital photographic images of actual register and census pages have become available for purchase on-line at This Part I, is the story of my earliest attempts in 2002 and 2003 to uncover information about the births, marriages, deaths and social circumstances of my Henderson forebears. It offers an opportunity to others to share in my tracing of the roots of a mere fraction of my kith and kin through understanding the ways in which I solved the puzzles that arose during my searches. It is a story that meantime ends in Wemyss, Fife back in 1702 because the accuracy of any further possible Henderson connections for any earlier years could not be relied on - an obstacle that I eventually had to accept.

2 I started searching in the 19th and 18th centuries in early 2002 from the 1885 birth certificate of John Henderson, my grandfather. My main sources were firstly the Mormon Web Site in Utah, then the Scots Origins Web Site in the UK, and next in September 2002, the newly opened GRO Web Site in Edinburgh. In addition, a CD Rom that I purchased from the Fife Family History Society provided extensive details of the recording of pre-1855 deaths in Fife. Also, and crucially, in September 2002, I was grateful to receive relevant information found by the staff of Kirkcaldy Central Library from the 1861 Census that they hold in their archives for Oakfield Village, Kelty, Fife. Perhaps the basic clue for forming hypotheses and then making the deductions required to solve the family puzzles accurately appeared when I eventually realised that children born in pre-twentieth century Scotland had tended to be named after their grandparents - and that this had been done in a generally accepted and logical manner - for example, a first child, if male, was likely to be named after the paternal grand-father, or, if female, after the maternal grandmother, and so on. None the less, over-reliance on these tendencies also led me up a large number of blind alleyways. However, despite the delays caused by such 'red herring chasing', the eventual availability from GRO in October 2002 of an increased number of digital images of relevant certificates for downloading to my computer proved to be a significant help. Of course my gradual acceptance of the fact that searching back for family dates and details can be a never-ending business was a bit daunting. But for me this was also accompanied by the continual frustration of not being able to learn much, if anything, about the 'knitty-gritty' of our forebears' daily lives. However, I managed to unearth some general facts and opinions about some of theirs and others' lives pre-1855 from some Statistical Accounts for Scottish Parishes, and, the electronic availability of these for 1791 and 1841, in particular, provides fascinating reading. So, come with me on a voyage of discovery... mostly in Fife!

3 Searching back in time for our Hendersons from 1885 I first became aware that my great-grandfather Henderson had been a James Hunter Henderson, when, on the death of my father, James Nicoll Kerr Henderson, I inherited the 1885 birth certificate of his father, and thus my grandfather, John Henderson. This certificate told me a number of things: - His registered name was John Henderson. He was born at four thirty in the morning of the nineteenth of May, 1885 at Couston, Newtyle, Forfarshire. His father was James Hunter Henderson, Master Gardener, and his mother was Jessie Henderson, maiden name Nicoll. His parents married on the eleventh of July 1879 in Brechin. I decided to start my research from the 1881 and 1891 Censuses. Without undue difficulty I was able to locate the relevant entries on the Scots Origins web-site and download them to my computer. The 1881 Census located the family of James and Jessie at Cattymill, Kinloch, Perthshire. James Henderson was listed as Family Head, a Gardener and Domestic Servant, thirty years old, born in Leslie, Fife. His wife Jessie was said to be thirty years old, born in Careston, Forfar. Two daughters were noted - Jane Henderson, one year old, born in Brechin, Forfarshire, and Agnes Henderson, under a year old, born in Cattymill, Kinloch, Perthshire. The 1991 Census located the family of James and Jessie at Bank Side, Newbigging, Newtyle, Forfarshire. James Henderson was listed as Family Head, a Jobbing Gardener, forty years old, born in Leslie, Fife. His wife Jessie was said to be forty years old, born in Careston, Forfarshire. Two daughters were again noted but this time as Jane Mitchell Henderson, aged eleven years born in Brechin and Agnes Hunter Henderson, aged ten years, born at Cattymill, Kinloch, Perthshire. However there had been two additions to the family after These were two sons - James Nicoll Henderson, aged eight years born in Kinloch, Perthshire, and John Henderson, aged five years, born in Newtyle, Forfarshire. This last entry clearly referred to my grandfather. What information about possible forebears had these Censuses provided? Apart from telling me that the family had started off in Brechin, had moved to Kinloch between 1879 and 1881, and then gone on to live in the Newtyle area between 1882 and 1885, the records indicated that the birth of father, James, should be registered in Leslie around 1850 and the birth of mother, Jessie, in Careston also around Therein lay the first problem. Both dates were pre-1855 and thus data for them might not crop-up among the small number of registrations made by parents during these years. I could have looked for the official registration of the 1879 marriage, but I already knew then, in the Spring of 2002, that no detailed image would be available on-line. To be obtained it would have had to be ordered by mail from GRO at a cost of 10 plus postage. I rejected this temptation and thus did not get early evidence of the names of the parents of James and Jessie. I was so sure that I would get these names on-line from their death registrations! So what transpired? In Mormon records I found a christening registration for Jessie on 22nd January 1851 in Careston identified as Jessie Alexander Nicoll - parents, James Nicoll and Elizabeth Baxter. But a James Henderson, born in Leslie about 1850 could not be found. Unfortunately at this point, while searching on a whim for any James Hunter Henderson's birth from 1550 to 1850 on the Mormon web site, I found only one, but could hardly contain myself when I saw that in 1796, in St. Andrews, a James Hunter Henderson had been born to a David Henderson and an Anne Mitchel. In my naivety in the genealogical searching business, I jumped to the conclusion that there and then that I had uncovered the Mitchell, Hunter and Henderson connections that were probably related to the naming of Jane Mitchell Henderson and Agnes Hunter Henderson by Jessie and James in 1879 and However, some six weeks later, after constructing a family tree that ranged through Beath to St. Andrews to Coupar Angus to Leslie but not to a James Henderson birth in Leslie around 1850, I had to admit the stupidity of the many assumptions I had made en route and abandon this line of enquiry as a very wild goose chase. Certainly a little more aware of some of the pitfalls of searching, I then decided to immediately adopt a much more orthodox approach in the post-1855 period as priority. This proved wise!

4 In due course I sought out and quickly found and downloaded the death registrations of James and Jessie. Among the many details available on each concerning dates, places, reason for death, etc., I was most interested at this point in finding out the names of James' parents. These were recorded as James Henderson (Labourer) (Deceased) and Agnes Henderson (m.s. Hunter) (Deceased). [It wasn't until some three months later after much apparently fruitless searching for the origins of a James Henderson, father of my James Hunter Henderson in Leslie, Fife, that I finally proved that the James must have been an informant error by Jessie to the registrar.] It was at that stage that I decided to hypothesise that the James in the 1902 death registration was indeed an error. I noted that my grandfather had been named John; his brother had been named James Nicoll (after Jessie's father); his younger sister had been named Agnes Hunter (after James' mother) and his elder sister had been named Jane Mitchell. So my grandfather John could well have been named after a grandfather John? On my Mormon site 'travels' I discovered a number of births in the 1850s and 1860s to an Agnes Hunter and a John Henderson. v.i.z. Janet HENDERSON born on 02 Mar 1852 in Cleish, Kinross Margaret HENDERSON born on 10 Jun 1854 in Oakfield, Fife Catharine Hunter HENDERSON born on 02 Apr 1859 in Oakfield, Fife William John HENDERSON born on 30 Sep 1861 in Oakfield, Fife John HENDERSON born on 29 Jun 1864 in Oakfield, Fife But no James Hunter Henderson! This 1881 Census looked promising. But it raised a number of questions Where are the parents? Where is James Hunter Henderson? Who does niece Isabella belong to? Where is Margaret and where is Catherine? Dwelling: North Street 1881 Census Place: Leslie, Fife, Scotland Source: FHL Film GRO Ref Volume 444 EnumDist 6 Page 12 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Janet HENDERSON U 28 F Kelty, Fife, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: Flax Spinner William HENDERSON U 20 M Kelty, Fife, Scotland Rel: Brother Occ: Gardener John HENDERSON U 17 M Kelty, Fife, Scotland Rel: Brother Occ: Flax Dresser Isabella HENDERSON 13 F Leslie, Fife, Scotland Rel: Niece Occ: Flax Spinner From the 1881 Census for Leslie, on the premise that I had found at least three, if not four, relevant Hendersons at an address in North Street, I obviously had to find out how a niece Isabella Henderson had arrived there. Who had been the parents of Isabella Henderson? Had by any chance a James Hunter Henderson (married or unmarried) fathered an Isabella around 1868/69? And, if so, with whom? A search was needed for evidence of a possible later marriage for Isabella and then for her death registration in her married name. After extensive, and intensive, searching, I found out from a down-loaded GRO registration that an Isabella Henderson of Leslie, of the correct age, had married a James Anderson of Leslie in Then I found and down-loaded this Isabella's death registration. This document told the tale of an unmarried couple, James Henderson (Gardener) and Janet Moodie as Isabella's parents in So a James Henderson had been a brother of Janet, John and William Henderson, all of whom I thought were Henderson forebears of mine. At this point I opted to do two things to try to clarify matters.

5 Firstly, through a contact that I had in Kirkcaldy Central Library I asked, based on current evidence, if I could be provided with any details of my Henderson family from the 1861 Censuses for Beath and Kinross and Leslie. Secondly, while waiting for a response to this request, I moved on to investigate GRO death registration images after This strategy was based on my noting that by 1881, Janet, John and William seemed to be alone, still single with no parents living with them in the family home. It took some time and guesswork about the possible ages of parents John and Agnes to locate relevant death registrations for them. However I found death registrations for all of them eventually v.i.z. Catharine from typhoid, aged 9 years, on 2nd June father John from typhoid, aged 54 years on 25th June mother Agnes from apoplexy, aged 56 years on 14th October 1876 Margaret from phthisis pulmonaris, aged 22 years in and thus illustrating a decade of grief for the survivors! Still awaiting news from Kirkcaldy Central Library, I then made the decision to try to determine the generation prior to the 1850s by using the key information in the death registration of John Henderson in 1868 that his parents had been a James Henderson and a Janet Henderson (m.s. Patrick). For this searching I initially had no clues as to where these two people might have been born, married, lived or died. Assuming that these events had happened somewhere in Fife, I searched firstly on the Mormon site for a marriage of a James Henderson and a Janet Patrick twenty years either side of the year This quickly brought up news of such a marriage in Markinch in 1801, and then by trying for Henderson births of various common forenames to this James and Janet, I found in Balfarg, Markinch the births of, three Janets in the successive years 1802, 1803, 1804 (two infant deaths later proved), an Andrew Henderson in 1805, a Margaret Henderson in 1807, a James Henderson in 1809, an Elspeth Henderson in 1811 and then in Kennoway, a John Mitchell Henderson in This last John Mitchell Henderson birth seemed to represent the person in the 1868 death registration in Leslie. However, I received the data I wanted from an from Kirkcaldy Central Library concerning the 1861 Census taken in Oakfield Village, Kelty, Beath. Significantly, Kennoway was noted in the transcription as the birth place of the John Henderson, who was married to an Agnes Henderson. As I had hoped, all the pre-1861 born children were listed including a James Henderson born in Leslie. Rather than seek out more detailed images at this point concerning the families of John and Agnes from the 1850s, or of James and Jessie from the 1880s, I chose to try to continue on the trail backwards in time from the marriage of James Henderson and Janet (Patrick) Henderson in At that point I found that I needed more resources than the Mormon site could offer. Thus I ordered a CD-Rom of pre-1855 deaths in Fife recently compiled from the work of numerous researchers within the Fife Family History Society and also downloaded from the Society web site, the Henderson and Patrick pages recording deaths from 1799 to 1855 in Markinch Parish Church Graveyard. When the CD-ROM arrived, I was in a strong position, to cross-match searches from all three resources, Mormon, CD-ROM and the Graveyard information. The main target was to try to establish the birth dates, birth places and parents of James Henderson and Janet Patrick. Various dates, places and parents were found on the Mormon site for plausible James and Janets twenty years either side of 1780, but most of the possibly significant entries seemed to centre around 1770 to Until I cross-matched these with the information in the other two resources, nothing approaching accurate linkage could be claimed. I got my first major clue from the CD-ROM entry that showed that Janet Patrick, wife of James Henderson, had died of cancer in 1827 at Pitcairn, part of Leslie Parish, but very near to the boundaries of Markinch and Kennoway Parishes. I also found other entries in the CD-ROM that became more significant later, but decided to find out if the Janet Patrick CD -ROM entry matched any in the Markinch Churchyard data. As it became such a revealing entry, I display it here:. PATRICK, JANET (52): spouse of James Henderson at Pitcairn, part of Leslie; 29 June 1827 (cancer); in grave of Janet Fife, spouse of Andrew Henderson at Coaltown of Balgonie, interred 22 Jan 1818 (No 2, 1818)

6 First born to Janet Patrick and James Henderson from 1801 had been a Janet usually named after the maternal grandmother. Next had been an Andrew, usually then named after the paternal grandfather. Next had been a Margaret. So she had either been named after the paternal grandmother or (as it transpired later) after some other forebear because Janet may have been the forename of both maternal and paternal grandmothers. Certainly the couple had appeared very anxious to have a Janet after each of two Janets had died in infancy. Going on though, we see that the next child had been a James, then, if things were normal, to be called after the maternal grandfather. The next child being Elspeth meant nothing to me at this point. The final child, and of greatest interest to me, was called John Mitchell - the first double name in the family. (Who he might have been named after I just had to look into there and then. But I will tell you about this investigation later) Having in my memory from Mormon site searching, a list of possible parents of both James Henderson and Janet Patrick, the people concerned, based on the child-naming procedure, and the burial of Janet Patrick Henderson in 1827, became an Andrew Henderson married to a Janet Fife and a James Patrick married to a Janet Chalmers. It thus seemed certain that Janet (Patrick) Henderson had been buried in the grave of her mother-in-law, a Janet Fife (d. 1818). The connection between the James Henderson (I knew to have been born to an Andrew and a Janet in 1774) and the Janet Patrick (I knew to have been born to a James and a Janet, also in 1774) had been established. To make another step backwards in time I needed to examine the naming of the discoverable children of Andrew Henderson and Janet Fife, married in 1763 in Markinch. These were: Katharine in 1764, Robert in 1766, Elspeth in 1769, Janet in 1771, James and twin Alexander in 1774, George in 1775 and John in The nearest fit that I could find to maternal grandparents was a Daniel Fife and a Katharine Gibson, but Janet Fife s twin brother was found to be a Robert in The more clear-cut match came on the paternal grandparents' side to a James Henderson and an Elspeth Ingles married in Wemyss in James and Elspeth had at least seven children between 1727 and A John was first born in 1727 but he must have died young because another John appears as number five child in In between, number two was a Janet, number three an Andrew, number four a Katharine, number six an Ann and number seven a William. Clearly the paternal grandfather should have been a John Henderson (if James Henderson had known his parentage!). But then the picture became confused. To fit the Janet as number two child, I could not find any Janet who had married an Andrew or a John Henderson within the relevant time span. All I could find was an Andrew Ingles who had married a Katharine Auchmoutie in 1698 which was fine for Elspeth s parentage. Thus meantime the Henderson line had to stop around As already mentioned, the naming of James and Janet's last child in 1814 as John Mitchell Henderson seemed to call for some kind of explanation. One lead I had was the memory of noting from the Mormon records that another Janet Patrick (from Largo this time) of similar age had married a John Mitchell from Scoonie in From the CD-ROM I found that this couple had latterly lived in Kennoway up until the death of John Mitchell (Coal Miner) in Kennoway in But I also found out that they had lost a child that they had called John Mitchell at the turn of the century. It seemed pretty feasible that the two Janet Patricks had been related in some way and that, for some reason, my Janet (Patrick) Henderson had been friendly with Janet (Patrick) Mitchell and her husband John Mitchell in Kennoway at the time of our Janet giving birth to my John Mitchell Henderson - naming him after an ailing cousin-in-law and good friend? In the OPRs there is no birth date or place given for John Mitchell Henderson, only a christening date in 1814 in Kennoway, all of which supports the above hypothesis. What had happened to our John Mitchell Henderson from his birth in Kennoway in 1814? Well, it is clear that both his parents, James and Janet, had worked as servants at Pitcairn until the death of Janet there in 1927 when John was about 12 or 13 years old. The next clue to whatever family movements took place thereafter came from three deaths noted from the CD- ROM and Markinch Churchyard records. In Thornton in the 1840s - firstly, a grandson John (son of Andrew b. 1805) died aged 10 years in 1844; secondly, James Henderson (b. 1774), the father of the family, died aged 70 plus years in Thornton in 1846; and thirdly, Janet (b. 1804), the sister of Andrew, died in Thornton in Whether our John Mitchell Henderson had lived in Thornton in the 1830s could not be determined. But it was later learned from the birth registrations of his

7 post-1855 children e.g. William John that he had been in Leslie in November 1845 for his marriage to Agnes Hunter. I was then able to trace the movements and major life events subsequent to the 1845 marriage in more detail. John, and Agnes his wife, must have lived and worked in Leslie from 1845 until some time after the 1850 birth of James but then had moved to Cleish, Kinross before the birth of Janet (Jessie) in A further move to nearby Oakfield Village, Kelty is signalled by the birth of Margaret there in The family appeared to have stayed in Oakfield until some time after 1864, as Catharine Hunter was born there in April 1859, William John was born there in September 1861 and Johnwas born there in June The first indication I got then was that the family had moved back to Leslie between 1864 and [work in the flax mills for the older children probably being the attraction(!!) to supplement a farm labourer's small wage to support a family of eight people] - appeared with the tragic outcomes of typhus in at least the Prinlaws vicinity of Leslie, and particularly in its killing of Catharine Hunter Henderson and her father John Mitchell Henderson in June James Hunter Henderson is noted as the informant to the registrar for both these deaths - but not surprisingly, due to the dangers of typhus eventually being realised, he is declared, in the images, as 'present' in the house on Catharine's death on June 2, but not 'present' in the house on his father John's death on June 25. Thereafter, life already difficult enough for the family, must have become really hard to bear. Then James complicated matters further in October 1868 with the birth of an illegitimate child, Isabella from a liaison with a Janet Moodie, a mill worker in Leslie. It also appeared that James had escaped the flax mills and was working as a gardener. As always for a record like this I could only speculate (based on registration evidence found) about what the Henderson family life may have been like after the two deaths in Husband and father John Mitchell Henderson, aged 54 years, had at that time been a ploughmanby occupation. [By the way, it is apparent that John and his family too were probably unaware that he had been christened John Mitchell Henderson!]. Catharine, at the absurdly young age of 9 years (by modern standards of employment conditions), had been a Mill Worker. Thus the household had been reduced to six in 1868, but then raised to seven with the birth of Isabella in So who from 1869 was earning their keep and how? James was a gardener aged 19 years. Jessie was a flax worker aged 15 years. Margaret aged 13 years was a paper mill worker. William John was 7 years old. The youngest son John was 5 years old, and Isabella was a newborn baby. Mother Agnes would have had her hands full in the house in Prinlaws to keep them all alive and well on such low income! After a few years the situation clearly took its fatal toll on mother Agnes and daughter Margaret in 1876 and 1878 respectively. Although James may have been still working in Leslie at the time of the death of his mother in 1876, he was not in the family house when she died, and then it took him some four days to record her death with the local registrar. This, and the fact that his brother William John registered the death of Margaret two years later, suggests that James was already working as a Gardener at Castle Kennedy within Inch Parish in the South of Scotland when these events occurred. [This Castle Kennedy information was eventually discovered in March 2003 when the marriage registration image of James Henderson and Jessie Alexander Nicoll in Brechin in 1879 became available for down-load from GRO]. Their first born, twins, of whom only Jane Mitchell Henderson survived more than one year, arrived a few weeks later at the Nicoll home at 20 Trinity Road, Brechin. [What had brought James to Brechin from Castle Kennedy, and when, I do not know. But probably he had been seeking a different location to ply his trade as a jobbing gardener. Anyway this time he married the lady he had 'got into trouble' and they got on with their new life together, firstly in Kinloch and then in the Newtyle area.] I learned little more about James and Jessie and their growing family during the twenty odd years of marriage up to the time of the premature parental deaths in 1902 and However, I did find out from the 1901 Census for Kinbuck, Ardoch (Railway Junction in Perthshire) that James Nicoll Henderson had been a Railway Clerk there. James then signed his mother's death registration in December 1903 and stated his address therein as 27 Victoria Road, Dundee. My Grand Aunt Agnes Hunter Henderson was the second surviving daughter.

8 When I found her death registration as a spinster in Stirling in 1948, I assumed that she must have gone there after the deaths of her parents and had a son Hugh [informant to the registrar on his mother s death] there, out-of-wedlock. The only other bits of information found out about my Grand Uncle James Jim Nicoll Henderson came in the form of his death registration in Perth in 1952, and this led to the discovery of his marriage to a Henrietta Simpson in 1910 in Dundee. Both of these registrations, were only made available by GRO at the beginning of March They showed that Jim had been, like his younger brother, my grandfather John Henderson, a Stationmaster on the railways of Scotland. Jim and Henrietta s marriage registration in 1910 also showed that one of the witnesses was a Jean M. Henderson. This was probably the surviving twin from 1879, Jane Mitchell Henderson. Unfortunately, I was unable to learn any more about this 'Jean or Jane' Mitchell Henderson. It is now September 2006, and since writing the above story of my early researches in 2003, I have discovered many, many more blood kin, not only arising from the marriage of James Henderson and Elspeth Ingles in 1731, but also from other Great x n Grandparents. [2061 in total]! What follows is merely a report up to my parents generation as only some of my 570 blood kin [dead and alive] who I have discovered as descendants from the marriage of James Henderson and Elspeth Ingles in {As is normal in genealogy reporting, dates of the LIVING have been omitted for privacy reasons.} Modified Register for James HENDERSON First Generation 1.
