I believe that he and his wife are found in the census taken on January 11, 1852 on lot 2, concession 17 in Westminster Township. The ages for him and Agnes match as do the ages of the first two girls. I have added the last two due to the census. Right "next door is another John Elliot married to anther Agnes. I am not sure who they are. On the other next door lot is a Beattie family.
He and his wife are frequently mentioned in Rev. Proudfoot's diary.

This marriage took place the same day as the license was issued. The Reverend John Bauer(?), pastor presided. The license application was issued on August 11, 1909 - again the same day. He was living at 1715 Prospect Ave. She was at 1509 Oak. They were both of Kansas City. He was 24 and she was 20.

She appears as Elva Welsh on the marriage license. I am guessing that she was married previously too. Her obituary would demonstrate that. Oddly enough, the bottom half of the license is not filled in. Did they actually get married?

The actual license application was issued the same day as the marriage certificate. Walter signed and said that he was over 21 years old.
A Gertrude Marsh signed for Elva as says that she is 18 years old. I am guessing that 18 was still a minor which required an adult to sign.

Marjorie Griffiths says she was a weaver who wove her mother's blankets. If I am correct, then she was living with her sister Susan and family in the 1881 census.

Note H00557 Index

In the 1851 census for West Nissouri - taken on January 11, 1852 - there is a Henderson family on Lot 20, Concession 4. The father is John, 41, from Scotland. The mother is Janet, 39, from Scotland. There are seven children. Susan was 5 on her next birthday, i.e. she was 4 at the time which would make her the right age for this Susan. She also has a sister Catherine, who was going to be 8 in her next birthday. Given that Susan's parents were said to be John and Janet on her marriage licence, I feel strongly that this is her family.

In the 1881 census, there is a Mary Henderson, age 36 living with Edward and Susan. She is likely Susan's sister.
