No birth year/age given. This Angus was single; a 'mechanic'. According to the transcribed index, there was also an A. E.? HENDERSON who was also on the same trip, but upon looking at the original image of the manifest, I read the name as ANDERSON (a number of passengers with this surname). It most definately does not look like HENDERSON. Nor are their ticket numbers anywhere near the same. There are 3 groups of separate HENDERSONs (10 persons in all) who set sail from Glasgow aboard the 'Caledonia' on 13 June 1911. There is one Angus, but birth year is 1907- and is listed as a female on the index. Original does not give sex of child, but clearly says Angus, with age (4) listed in the female colume. There is no Alexander among them either. They dis-embarked in NYC. There is another Angus HENDERSON who sailed from Liverpool on 6th March 1911, again aboard the Ivernia, arriving in Boston. No date of birth or age given for this Angus either. He was single, a 'clerk'. No other HENDERSONs on this manifest. Don't be put off by 'Liverpool' being the place they set sail from, if your family was Scottish. The ship could have started out from Glasgow or even further north, but made a stop in Liverpool. Liverpool then would become the last UK port, therefore where the manifest was finalized and be recorded as being the port the ship sailed from. Have you found your families on the census records for Scotland? Do you know about www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (aka SP)? You should be able to find out a great deal about your families via SP, plus using the census. If you would like me to look at the census indices for Scotland, let me know. I can only look the indices, not the original images. SP has some census records, but there is also Freegen, within which you may find them as well.
