Christina and Jock Henderson(Cowboy) Jock Henderson and wife Christina. The original Jock was a cowboy in Canada for many years prior to returning to Invergordon and marrying. "Tommuck" (Cowboy) Henderson (picture #726) was a son and inherited the name. The year is not known - the sailor in the background wearing the white top cap may give some indication. When were white tops introduced?

Believe white caps were summer issue, black in winter.

John Henderson (or Jock) and his wife Christina were married and their son Thomas (Tommy) was also born before they went to Canada - but Tommy did not travel to Canada with them at that time.
Re White top on the Sailor's cap - as far as known this was the "Summer" cap.
