    3. Hi Everyone I am searching for the HENDERSON family of Kelly's Plain and "Silverton" near Armidale. Another area mentioned is Hillgrove. Archibald HENDERSON and Christina CAMERON came to Australia on the ship "Rodney in 1854. They arrived from Scotland with six children: Flora (12) ,Catherine (10), Alexander (8), Archibald (6), Dugald (4) and Charles (1). They went to Marlee (near Wingham, NSW) and farmed near his sister and brother-in-law, Anne (Henderson) and Alexander Cameron. Alexander HENDERSON (4th child of Archibald and Christina Henderson) went to Armidale to farm. Alexander married Mary Anne CATTELL in Armidale in 1879. They had 10 children: Archibald, Thomas, Robert, Anne Jane, Alexander, William, Christina, John, Edward and Donald. Alexander HENDERSON (5th child of Alexander and Mary Anne Henderson) married Edith WATERS in 1915 and lived at "Silverton", Armidale. They had 7 children: Margaret, Mavis, Archibald, Leith, Clive, Beryl and Athol. Athol HENDERSON has contacted me recently and filled in this big jigsaw piece for me. He was chasing up where his grand-father lived at Marlee. He didn't find any Henderson's but he found my brother, who is a CAMERON, still on the Cameron Farm at Marlee. (Our family have been on this farm for 150 years). Athol now lives near Brisbane. Also looking for Thomas Colin HENDERSON (known as Colin) who lived in Macksville in 1994. He would have been about 80 in 1994. He used to visit the Cameron family and the Cross Family at Marlee many years ago. Any descendants know this name? Is there any descendants of Archibald HENDERSON and Christina CAMERON is these areas. Kind regards Heather
