David Henderson, Bill's Great Uncle, was born in 1886. In 1909 David sailed from Liverpool, bound for New York. The 1910 U.S Census, finds him as a lodger in Manhattan, working as a chauffeur. He married Bessie who had lived in the next street from him in Edinburgh in 1912. He sent these photos back to his family showing the Delaunay-Belleville car left to him by his employer when she died and which set him up for life.
