Apologies that I haven't been able to get on line to reply and thank the sender for a few more details but they are much appreciated.  If only we could flesh out a bit more of other members of the family!  Wish I had started this type of thing years ago for I am a bit ancient now to be on the hunt but not to worry I have enjoyed what I have found and frustrated with what I haven't been able to find.   Even put an advert in a Tyrone paper but didn't get any results from that so   So thank you again.  Maureen

Thank you.  Looks like the marriage was of short duration!!  I just cannot track down any information about my grandmother following this last date and was hopeful that maybe some descendants of her sisters might be able to fill in some blanks for me.  Sadly my interest in my ancestors has come a bit late and while I didn't even know until the above info that she had at least 3 sisters it would be nice to know a bit more.  I came to NZ in 1956 and most contacts I could approach for info are long since dead.  If my grandmother remarried - and I have searched under her maiden name as well as Auld - it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack without a new married name.

Hi,
Maria Henderson was my grandmother and she married a William John Auld in Belfast on 18 July 1900 and subsequently had 2 daughters Maria Teresa and Wilhelmina.  Maria was my mother who died when I was very young (and I am now very old!) but I would dearly love to know more about my grandmother who it would seem separated from my grandfather I don't know when.  Cannot find any trace.

Hi Deadman!!  I didn't actually expect a reply but I guess when folk get into this geology it can cover years.  I am not descended from any Hendersons who came to NZ  and I have just had a quick look and I reckon the Isaac Henderson who would have been my great grandfather was born about 1843 and that doesn't seem to tie in with popkiwi's findings so maybe it is another branch of the family.  Will go back and put things down on paper more clearly when I have time.  I initially wanted to find out about my grandmother but hit a dead end and actually gave up until about 3 weeks ago when someone in America contacted me and it turns out we are definitely related but on my father's side which I hadn't even looked at.  Have just about worn my eyes out going through census records to try and see where my grandmother was as she definitely wasn't listed with my  grandfather.  U suspect there may be a skeleton in the cupboard!!  I came to NZ in 1956 by myself - yes I am very old Ha - so it may be I will never find out.  Thanks for your reply.  Maureen

Hi - I came across your page quite by accident and it caught my attention but realise the entries are not recent BUT did you ever track down your information?  I am also interested in the  Henderson family as a later family of them was my grandmother but she seems to have disappeared off the radar.  Funnily enough I live in NZ - Tauranga.  Would love to know if you have had any success.  Maureen
