          The 1851 shows James as Beer seller and Iron moulder as does the marriage.

          The 1861 census appears to be the right one for James Henderson married to Catherine Roocroft. The children have mother's maiden name of Roocroft.

          James Henderson 37 repairs watches b Aberdeenshire.
          Catherine Henderson 37
          James Henderson 9
          Catherine Henderson 8
          Fanny Henderson 6
          Margt Hann Roocroft 20 sister.

          However, The marriage certificate is for James Henderson as is his baptism and death registration. Where did you find the Hadden middle name? I see newspaper reports re that name but are you sure that's him?

                He could just have adopted it for some reason unknown!!

                Possible reason ............ too many other people with the name James Henderson.


                OH's grandfather was a Welsh Methodist Minister, going to college in Manchester in his 20s after apprenticing as a cabinet maker. At some point between starting college and graduating in 1900 he suddenly has a middle name. I cannot find him with that (or any) middle name before 1900, but there it is on his graduating notice, in the 1901 Census and on every other census, document etc that I've found, up to his death in the 1930s.

                Our assumption now is that there were several other Welsh Methodist ministers with the same name (true), and he decided to add a middle name to distinguish himself.

                What we do not know is why he took that particular name of "Morton" as I can find no relation or apparent connection with that name. It must have had some significance to him!

                  The early 1900s brought out a rash of middle names in my family, lol,and they were all in Manchester. The one which made me laugh was the Seymour middle name of my great grandfather, my grandfather and my father. My grandmother said it was because we are descended from.Jane Seymour's family. Quite by chance I came across my great grandfather's acceptance into the Congregational church on his 21st birthday. His sponsor was Seymour Mead, a well known Lancashire grocer! Haaaa!

                    Good one, OC!!

                    I've been thinking along possible similar relationships for our guy ............... my first thought was actually the man he was apprenticed to as cabinet maker. But no ............ after I'd traced that man through several censuses.

                    We have OH's grandfather's apprenticeship paper so that gave me a head start.
