Research notes

John / Isabella's marriage?

There is a marriage in the Clackmannan OPR for a John HENDERSON & Isabella BENNIE in 1842, which may, or may not be this couple, if a grandson misheard his grandmother's surname for reporting a death in 1901 (It shows John as of the Parish of Dollar)

In addition there's a patron submission for a Margaret dtr of a John HENDERSON and Isobella BINNIE, shown as born 1847 and dying in 1917, so with this John & Isabella's dtr Margaret being of this age, and still alive in 1910, and married to a Thomas Binnie, perhaps she married a cousin?
