Hello,
I found your postings re HENDERSON in Enniskillen. I am tracing my own line from that area.
Robert 'David', born about 1768, and Anjelina, born abt 1779, HENDERSON left Enniskillen in 1818 with 8 children - John N., 1798; William T., 1801; Robert, 1805; James, 1808; David, 1809; Margaret, 1813; Elizabeth, 1815 and George, 1816. The family arrived in Saint John in the Spring of 1818.
They may have come on the same vessel as another HENDERSON family, Andrew and Susannah (SLACK) HENDERSON and their son, George. Andrew left journals telling about his life and mentioned that he 'traveled with kin ' from his home in Northern Ireland to the New World. The parts of the journal which may have mentioned the kin were cut out by Andrew himself in later years.
Many of the names I have seen in this forum are mentioned in Andrew's journals. His sisters went to Cash Hill to look after an aunt (I believe on the ARMSTRONG side of the family.)
Andrew had several brothers for which I have names but nothing else. ( William, George Henry, Joseph, Mitchell).
Does any of this ring any bells? The family was strongly Methodist beginning with Andrew's parents, George and Elizabeth (ARMSTRONG) HENDERSON, although some of the brothers retained their Anglican roots.
I am anxious to find out more about Andrew's older brothers and also the family of my Robert 'David'.
Thank you for your time and any help you can offer, particularly on where to get information in Enniskillan when you don't know parishes concerned.
