Henderson Birth Records

Post by ihenderson73 » Sat Oct 28, 2006 5:41 pm

Hi

I'm currently researching the Henderson family tree, and am looking to see if anyone can provide me with copies of the following documents:

OPR Birth for John Henderson - born circa 1805, age given as 35 on 1841 census return for Newton-On-Ayr;
OPR Birth for Margaret Stewart - dob unknown, age given as 25 on 1841 census return for Newton-On-Ayr;
OPR Marriage for John Henderson and Margaret Stewart - exact date unknown, believed to be 1836;

John and Margaret Henderson then went on to have a number of children. The documents that I'm looking for are:
OPR Birth for James Henderson - dob unknown, age given as 4 on 1841 census return for Newton-On-Ayr;
OPR Birth for John Henderson - dob unknown, age given as 2 on 1841 census return for Newton-On-Ayr;
OPR Birth for Archibald Henderson - dob 1 May 1841 (as lifted from marriage record);
OPR Birth for Thomas Henderson - dob unknown, age given as 4 on 1851 census return for Newton-On-Ayr

If anyone has images of these documents, I'd be really grateful to receive them.

TIA

Hi Ian
You can see microfilms of these documents yourself and and print out copies at your nearest LDS family history centre, Ayrshire FHS or even your nearest FHS may have the films, possibly also the Mitchell Library in Glasgow or Park Circus Glasgow or lots of other places.

Have you tried a search on the IGI or Scotlands People to try to find exact dates for the births? e.g. IGI gives:

Any Event, 1830 - 1850, Scotland, British Isles
Father: John Henderson, Mother: Margaret Stewart

International Genealogical Index / British Isles - 6

1. JOHN HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 10 MAR 1839

2. JOHN HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 24 MAR 1839 Newton-On-Ayr, Ayr, Scotland

3. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 01 MAY 1841

4. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 09 MAY 1841 Newton-On-Ayr, Ayr, Scotland

5. JAMES HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 02 MAY 1837

6. JAMES HENDERSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 21 MAY 1837 Newton-On-Ayr, Ayr, Scotland

- but all are submissions, so you would need to check that they were in the OPR yourself.

The odds of someone just happening to have the same page that the events you are looking for feature on are pretty slim! (though, on here, not impossible!!)...beside which ...providing copies, stickly speaking, is illegal I as far as I remember!

Best wishes
Lesley
