Sounds good Peter.  I will give Joan a call and/or pop over to see her.  I'm not far away.  I will call into the Waihi Museum as well, because they have archives stored there, and Granddad was in Brass Bands in Waihi in the early 1900's.  I have those photos, and a couple with Eva.  Did you know that he was previously married and has other children?  That was news to me, as Mum has not let on over the years, and it's all coming out in the past few months.  Timing!!  I will do a list of Grandads brothers and sisters too. Hopefully we can put the puzzle pieces together and get the family sorted.  I have a 19 year old son James, who looks very much like Granddad.  Lovely to chat, will get back in touch soon,  Take care Erin

So sorry to hear about Bill.  I have a lovely photo of him with a mate, and daughters Shiralee, Lorraine and Julie.  It was sent to Mum some years ago now.  Wow! I'm so happy to make contact with you. Mum is very well, 90 in February and having a party apparently ha!  Just gave her a call and she is really emotional. I have just browsed through your posts. Mum did genealogy research in the 90s, before we all had computers, and she was not able to find more on Great Grandad Henderson, so what you have found out is fantastic.  I am writing down all her memories and it is incredible the names and events she can recall.  I have a couple of photos of Margaret Casey and I think we have info on children and partners etc.    I would love to share all the info and photos for you and your family.  I have just joined this chat today, how do you think is the best way to get photos etc to you?  So funny I was thinking about doing DNA as well

Hi Kiwican

How are you?  Hopefully what I'm about to tell you will make your day.  My name is Erin, I live in New Zealand and have just started researching my family tree.  My Mum is Beverley Henderson your Dads (Billy) sister.  I have joined ancestry and came across by chance your posts, on this site.  I have some stories, but more importantly some wonderful photos of you Grandfather.  Look forward to hearing from you soon, and you have made my day!!!
