from Deans and Stout
by Paul Finch
Who was Jean Henderson
Known as step or half-sister to John Henry Deans and married to James Henderson. No records to link the families. Could she be another child of Robertha Cormack or James Allan Deans?

The Bonney / Boni connection
The Bonneys described in family lore as tinkers and being of possible Italian decent. The eldest Bonney is Henry Logan Bonney HLB01 married to Ann Mcleod. Henry is a master butcher and works around the UK taking his wife and 4 children with him
1839 - Elizabeth Bonney (Labourers wife)
1840 - Caroline Bonney (Knitter & Housekeeper) CB40
1841 - Henry Bonney (Ploughman)
1844 - John Bonney (Fisherman)
The Bonney family found so far have either jobs in the trades or traditional industries.
Caroline Bonney’s daughter Robertha Cormack marries James Allan Deans (Tinsmith). Perhaps this is the ‘tinkerer’ connection and not the Bonney family.
