Hi could someone please see if they can find Robert John Henderson born 1883 in Lanark, Glasgow? In 1891 he is with his parents John and Rebecca living in Dumfries. Also could someone have a look for his sister Matilda Henderson born 1879 Armagh Ireland? She's isn't married so wouldn't have a different surname. Thanks in advance! Liz

Fox, i thought maybe Robert was a servant or something somewhere as the main family is still in Dumfries.

Maureen, I don't know if he married as my Scotlands people credits ran out before i could find the info on the whole family. I know that Matilda wasn't married as in 1909 she is still a Henderson on Rebecca's (their mother) death cert.
