Wedding day guests wedding day 1954 in Niddrie Mains Terrace, Edinburgh
Jeanette will often recall, with much affection, her wedding day and how Granny Quilietti’s wee house in Niddrie Mains Terrace was instantly changed into the wedding party bash. They went on to have two children Robert and Janet, and in turn Robert had two daughters , one of whom has married and added another beautiful girl, and the line lives on. Jeanette is now the heart of the Quilietti family in Scotland and has contributed many days and weeks over the past twenty years to the cause of re-uniting our family. Jeanette we all love you very much.
Jeanette is the daughter of Septimus King Henderson and Mary O’Brien Nevin.
Septimus, mum and brother Alex. Henderson
The Henderson family we trace back to 1790. This branch of her family lived in Dundee. Her great grandfather Alexander Henderson was born in 1799. He married Anne Keddie.
Anne Keddie, Jeanette’s great grandmother, was born in Leuchars in Fife on 12th May 1798. and we can trace her Fife ancestry back to Jeramiah Keadie born on in 1670 also in Fifeshire.
Jeanette’s father had the very unusual christian name of Septimus. He inherited this name from his maternal grandfather Septimus King who was actually an Englishman born in the year 1826 in Kirby. Lonsdale, Westmorland. Septimus was christened on 17th February of that year. Septimus’s father was Robert King and his mother was Margaret Gibson. Septimus’s grandfather was William King born c. 1770 and his wife Mary Pennington.http://brianmcarthur93.tribalpages.com/family-tree/brianmcarthur93/2826/403/Alexander-Henderson-Family
Septimus had married in the year 1850 to a girl called Margaret Carruthers, who was born in 1817 in Gretna, Dumfriesshire, and we know that they had at least four children. By the year 1861 the Scottish Cencus shows the family living in Dumfries in the southwest of Scotland. By this year Septimus had four children, Mary age 10, William age 8, Catherine age 6 and Robert age 1. Septimus worked on the railway and they were resident at a wee cottage called Cove Cottage in Dumfries. By the year 1871/1881 the family had moved to Roseburn Place in Edinburgh and his job was now a Railway Inspector.
Jeanette’s grandmother Catherine King was born on 27th January 1855 in Kirkpatrick, Fleming in Scotland. She married Alexander Henderson and we know that they had at least nine children. Jeanette’s father Septimus Henderson was born in the year 1897 and he married Mary O’Brien Nevin in the Holy Cross Church, Ferry Road, Edinburgh on 28th June 1930.
As a postscript to this page it has recently came to light about Jeanette’s parentage. Please see the Neri Connections. Helen
Jeremiah Keadie was born 10 January 1669 and I have traced family back to 1595 in Kirkcaldy in Fife.

When the houses were newly built they had coal fires in every room, indoor toilets and baths. They were luxurious compared to the old tenements in the old town. What was your mother’s name. My husband Denis was born in Niddrie Mains Terrace in 1950
Dot Walker. Brother John Walker at 18 Niddrie Mains Terrace. My Mother was born in ’41. Went to St. Francis, and I can’t recall the other school.
My husband was born in 1950 and also went to St. Francis School. His older brothers were/are Jimmy Stanton, Mick Stanton, Peter Stanton and Davie Stanton and they were all students of St. Francis. Perhaps your mum remembers some of the Stantons from her era
