I read with much interest, your comments Bruce re the Scottish Henderson family. My mothers step father : John Stanley Henderson [born 1896 Carlton, Victoria, Australia - 1968 Bundoora, Victoria, Australia] was the son of John Henderson [born 1870 Glasgow died Australia] and Charlotte Simpson [born Ballarat, Australia died Australia] Siblings:Mildred [born 1898 died 1988 Victoria Australia]; Herbert Lynden [born /died1900] John Henderson [1870] was the son of John Henderson [born about 1841 Dundee, Scotland died, Australia?] and Christina Clough Pearson [born about 1842 Scotland, died 1928 Prahran, Victoria, Australia] Siblings: Alexander [born 1862 Glasgow] and Christina born 1873 Ayr, Scotland] John Henderson [1841] was the son of Alexander Henderson [of Henderson Hats fame in Glasgow] and Elizabeth Littler. We would love to know more about this family... Is this of interest?
