Hi All

Ive been researchign my family tree back, Ive come across a christina/Christine henderson in my tree who married Colville Graham, the marriage certificate is on the scotlands people etc and i looked at her parents details (Helen Ann Robertson and Thomas Henderson) and traced them back and their lines but although all the information seems correct there is no trace of a christina or christine in their lines at all.

any ideas???

Chances are she's staying with relatives in the 1891 possibly mistranscribed, maybe with their surname so look under the name Robertson or even Thomas's or Helen's sister's married names??

Its a long shot but has been known..
