Looking for more info - Samuel Hendren

[Andrew Brown]

Hi There looking for more info on the parents and siblings of Samuel Hendren

Born 7 OCT 1794 • Tullyallen, Armagh, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

26 JUL 1867 • Middletown, Armagh, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

I know that his father was John Hendren 1761 • Cladymore, Armagh, Ireland and Mother Elizabeth?

In the some parish records it mentions that Samuel was the fifth son of John Hendren, farmer of Mullabrack, Co. Armagh, Ireland. His eldest brother is said to have been James born c1779. The other three brothers, and three sisters, are said to have been between James and Samuel. I wish to know names and/or birth dates for those brothers and sisters. Can anyone help?

https://www.townlands.ie/armagh/orior-lower/loughgilly-lower-orior-portion/mountnorris/tullyallen/ is a reasonable way from Middletown (20 miles), may not be the same person, given the huge gaps in availability offline or online.
Samuel Hendron 26th JUNE 1867, aged 72, Tynan Sub-District of Armagh according to GRONI.
No denomination or parish is mentioned?

Refer to https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/publications/guide-church-records
The only online resource is likely https://rootsireland.ie/armagh/online-sources.php and very few of their transcriptions go into the 1700's.
Loughgilly Church of Ireland registers only commence 1804 and are not online. Presbyterian ones start later as do R.C.

"C.I. Mullabrack (Armagh diocese). Earliest registers destroyed in Dublin i.e. baptisms, 1737-63 and 1813-75, marriages, 1737-63 and 1812-45, and burials, 1737-60 and 1813-74"

Clady More is another Parish again https://www.townlands.ie/armagh/fews-lower/kilclooney-lower-fews-portion/clady/clady-more/ with no records before 1832.
What & were the parish records you consulted.

Found some that info here

Geneanet is just public trees same as Ancestry.
Suggest you wade through the trees on ancestry and try to find what it valid from where you are working from. https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/1030/?name=samuel_hendron&birth=1794_ireland_3250&count=50&name_x=1_p

This is presumably your one
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/198240505/person/132590306572/facts
Certainly some of the records match for Samuel, the death, Griffiths Valuation, Encumbered Estates.
Why didn't you state that Samuel Hendron that died 26 June 1867 in Doogary, aged 72 & married, was a Rev. a Presbyterian Clergyman, per his attached death cert? Despite the absence of church records the Presbyterian Historical Society has a Fasti of ministers https://presbyterianhistoryireland.com/web-resources/minister-lists-fasti/ there is also History of congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and biographical notices of eminent Presbyterian ministers and laymen https://archive.org/details/historyofcongreg00kill though I got no result for a search for Hendren/on within (Middletown church is not included).
Also explains why he moved.
You won't make progress before Samuel if his father was a Farmer though, for any research in the mid 1700's you have to he delving hands on into original Estate Records in the archives themselves. You & the trees seem to have gathered up all the online stuff.
Son David Charles Hendren's death cert says his mother was Anne McCullagh. Baptised 2nd Markethill 1 June 1827 the snip in the trees is from their website https://markethillpresbyterian.co.uk/genealogy/ and she seems to have come came from a line of Presbyterian ministers.

The Geneanet mentiones a source being a Markethill history published 1981 so not online.
PRONI guide indicates P. 1st Markethill: Baptisms, 1843-89; marriages, 1845-1936.
P. 2nd Markethill: Baptisms, 1821-1926; marriages, 1821-1924.

The Places > Churches section of https://www.bygonesandbyways.com/mainmenu.htm also mentions the known ministers.

In 1847, the Armagh Guardian has mention of a Rev Samuel Hendron, P.M., of Middletown in a list of local clergyman being selected to form a Committee. Then in 1849, the Drogheda Argus has mention of a marriage in the Presbyterian Church, Middletown by the Rev Samuel Hendron  D.D. There are various other mentions of him in newspapers under the Hendren spelling. He belonged to the Presbetery of Monaghan.

In 1855 he conducted a marriage at Middlestown, where it was also noted that he was an uncle to the bride, she being a Mrs Carson, relict of a James Carson of Mallabrackscatt (possible spelling variation, so likely https://www.townlands.ie/monaghan/trough/donagh/enagh/mullabrack-scott/), and marrying an Alexander Wallace of Hillhall. That marriage has her as Anne Carson https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-2005586, father's name hard to read, possibly David Byers.

Probably the most interesting is Belfast Commercial Chronicle 26 November 1823 as confirms what I saw earlier in your & other trees.

Actually you know he was there then as the Encumbered Estates record of 1851 states he is the sole surviving one of the 5 that signed the lease 30 June 1828 for the church in Middletown (Townland & village).
