Edward John Henderson
ID # 8609, (1865-1906)
| Father | James Henderson (1837-) |
| Mother | Elizabeth Oliver (1839-) |
| Birth | Edward John Henderson was born on 1 October 1865 at Galt, Waterloo Co., Ontario. |
| Marriage | He married Elizabeth Kramp. A marriage registration for Edward and Elizabeth has yet to be found. Their firstborn child, apparently Lottie Victoria, was born in Lockport, New York, in 1893. Edward and Elizabeth may have been married in New York State. They returned to Canada, probably not long after Lottie's birth for their second child, Arthur, was born in the Town of Waterloo in Waterloo County, Ontario, in August of 1895. |
| Death | He died on 6 February 1906 at Galt, Waterloo Co., at age 40. |
| Burial | He was buried at Sec. 4, Mountview Cemetery, Galt. |
| Note | The dates of birth for Edward and Elizabeth are taken from their gravestone in Section 4 of Mountview Cemetery, Galt, as transcribed by the Waterloo branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Edward's birth date as it appears in the 1901 census at Etobicoke agrees with this. Elizabeth's year of birth in this census is shown as 1871. Both her death registration and her gravestone agree that her year of birth was 1872. It is not clear just where Edward was born. His death registration is of no help. Rosella's marriage registration from 1924 places his birth in Galt, and this may be correct. The 1861 census for shows a James Henderson, servant, age 24, and Mrs. Henderson, age 22, apparently connected with the family listed immediately before. The family's name is Oliver. It may be that Mrs. Henderson was an Oliver. No children are present. Their religious affiliation is shown as F. C. This will almost certainly be Presbyterian. The couple is probably recently married. (Follow-up note: Yes, Edward's mother's maiden name was Oliver. This per the marriage registration of Edward's sister Mary Jane.) The 1871 census in Galt shows James and Elizabeth Henderson, ages 33 and 32. They have with them six children. The 4th, Edward, is age 6, which would place his birth year to 1865. Given that the family was in North Dumfries Township in 1861 and in Galt in 1871, Edward may have been born either place, but we will not argue with Rosella's statement on her 1924 marriage registration. Something of a fuller story may emerge when examining marriage and death registrations for Edward's siblings. A marriage registration for James Henderson and wife Elizabeth (last name perhaps Oliver) has not been found. The family was in Berlin (now Kitchener) as of son Wesley's birth in 1899 and in Galt as of Rosella's birth in September of 1901. The 1901 census, however, has the family in Etobicoke (now part of Toronto). This census was begun in March of the year, so for at least a time the family was away from Waterloo County. Death reg. 029568-06 Galt, Waterloo Co. E. Henderson, died February 6, 1906, age 40. Born Canada. Residence Pollack Ave. Machinist. Married. Presbyterian. Physician and informant Dr. A. Hawk. |
