I am not related: my own HENDERSON ancestors are noted only
in ROC and INV counties by Muir of Ord and Beauly, back to
late 1700s.

I guess it is possible that Agnes' mother died after 1855,
so both her parents should then have been listed in her
Death registration, incl. maiden surname. If died before
1855, her burial record/ MI/ testament, obituary [all of
which were <uncommonly> recorded!] may help. Both Uphall and
Linlithgow have extensive pre- 1855 burial registers but the
recorded details are usually quite sparse.
