Robert Henderson
18?? - after 1853
Robert Henderson was Calum's and Jamie's great great great great grandfather.
Little is known of Robert just yet. He was recorded as being a pensioner in the marriage entry for
his daughter Eliza in January 1853. This most likely means that he was a former soldier, and therefore a
pensioner of the Royal Kilmainham hospital in Dublin. It is believed that he was from Currin in Magherfelt, County Londonderry,
Ireland, as this is where his 18 year daughter was based when she married.
