Surnames: Kerr, Henderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yNi.2ACEB/5341.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Carole. The KERR / HENDERSON "family group" which migrated to Canada in 1823 had probably 50-60 children between them. So, there are many people researching them, and "attempting" to find out their origins ! But, none of us can find out who their parents were in Sligo, Ireland. They were born in the 1785 to 1805 timeframe. I got so frustrated (as have others) that I got a small group of us to pay a research-fee to the County Sligo Research Centre asking for their help in finding the parents. Because we don't know who the parents were, we also don't know who their siblings were. And, we don't know whether all the siblings came to Canada (at different times) or whether the siblings remained in Ireland, or a combination of both. (There were other KERR's and HENDERSON's who arrived in Canada a few years later, some in 1830's, who "might" be directly related to them.) The person who has done the most research is John METCALF in Canada, and he has a web site which can be found by searching for "Metcalf's Corral." But, even John only has the approx. birth years of each member of this family group - with "parents unknown." He's pretty sure the HENDERSON's were born in Sligo Town (Sligo, Ireland), but he's not so sure about the KERR's. But William HENDERSON married Mary KERR in Sligo. And, there was a Patrick KERR as a teacher in Sligo Town in 1820 (but there were 2). I am told by people on the Ireland Mailing Lists that the two families probably migrated together during the mid-1700's, possibly from Scotland to Ireland, or from another part of Ireland. If you look through the archives of the Mailing Lists at www.rootsweb.com for Quebec / Canada, you will find other information posted about the families (especially the List for Argenteuil County where they settled).

We have never been able to find where our Henderson family came from in Ireland. Jane Henderson born circa 1800 married John Judge born 1796 and came to Ontario Canada in early1830's or possibly 1820's. John's brother James Judge was also in the party. We first find them purchasing land in Peel County Ontario and then on to Oxford County where a number of Hendersons were (Thamesford Ontario area), Is there a possibility that you might have some input on this family. thanks for any help or suggestions Carole

Hello, Looking for any HENDERSON'S from around Auctermucty, Fife, Scotland. Time frame: Early 1800's through 1900's. E-mail Joanne Henderson Brown [email protected]

Anyone connected to the Hendersons of Walkerburn and Galashiels within the Border region of Scotland from the mid to late 1800's? Also, related in this family line is the family of James Turner of Galashiels in the late 1800's.

Directed To - Elaine Morris: In past HENDERSON LIST postings you where asking about the Levi Henderson found on the 1810 Fort Ann, Washington, New York census. The Henderson line that I am interested in is that of Henry and Mary Henderson of Halifax, Vermont who removed to Kingsbury in Washington county after the 1800 Halifax census but before the 1801 Kingsbury census, therefore, they are on both. They had numerous sons and one, Levi, that was born 7 April 1784 and would have been 26 at the time of the 1810 census. I don't know anything more about him or if he is in fact the one enumerated at Fort Ann but that is a good possibility. Fort Ann is adjacent to Kingsbury. The enumeration is as follows: Henderson, Levi 001002110020 1 male 16-26 Levi 2 females under 10 ? Betsey and ? Polly 1 female 10-16 ??? unknown 1 female 16-26 wife 2 All Other Free Persons ? parents, possibly Henry and Mary I don't find Henry and Mary anywhere on the 1810 census. They could have gone to Canada, as at least one possible son, Isaac, did or are they living with son Levi? You refer to your ancestor as Levi "Sylvanus" Henderson, son of the above Levi. Henry and Mary had one daughter, Betsey and I believe, not yet proven, they may have had a son, Sylvanus Lyon Henderson born about 1793 in Vermont who ended up in Chautauqua county New York as did Betsey and her husband Edward Dalrymple, who where also on the 1810 Kingsbury, Washington, New York census. Any thoughts or help along these lines? Donovan

Hello Henderson's of UK Well wonderful there are Henderson's from UK...I was also deleting most of the emails on this list. I am in Canada, my family immigrated about 100 years ago and it didn't take long to trace back to the UK. My Great Grandmother was Mary Henderson as was my Great Great Grandmother Mary Henderson. My Henderson's were North Yorkies(lived in Yorkshire) for 200 years....but my family name is FORSTER and they also resided in the same small village Caldwell Yorkshire and Cotherstone over in Durham. There seems to be a connection to Malton and Sunderland Henderson's also as I trace siblings in the census. They also had large families. The Forster's and the Henderson's were closely connected I have found. They married several times, they are on each other marriage certificates as witnesses and even followed each other to Newcastle...Elswick to resettle in the 1870's leaving 200 hundred years of farming life in Caldwell. It astonishes me both families left the village together. Anyhow Taa Raa We're off to the Blaydon Races....a tune my father sang.....funny how some carry their heritage for generations.....

Hello, My HENDERSON ancestor left Sligo, Ireland, in 1823 in a "family group" with their KERR relatives. They migrated to Argenteuil Co., Quebec, Canada, and were there until my great-grandfather came down to Boston, MA, in ~1875. So, you need to define your query question about "U.K. HENDERSON's," I think. My HENDERSON ancestor was from the U.K. !! My great-great-grandmother was born in 1827 with the name, Elizabeth HENDERSON, and she married her cousin, Robert KERR. When their children were grown, they came down to Boston, also. Elizabeth had a sister who also married and came down to Massachusetts. There were MANY more jobs available to MA / USA than in the area of Quebec they were in. The related family on this branch of my family tree are a HANNAH / RITCHIE couple who were born in Donegal, Ireland, and married in Glasgow, Scotland. They left Glasgow in 1857, and migrated to Boston, MA. So, they were also "from the U.K." Their daughter, Elizabeth HANNAH, married William KERR in 1876 near Boston, MA. ... On a more general note, most of my ancestors can be traced back to their voyages from "the U.K." to the MA Bay Colony in the 1600's ! Even if they were 200+ years before, they were still "from the U.K." FYI: The other set of ancestors who came "from the U.K." in the 1800's, rather than the 1600's, were my great-grandparents, with the surnames, LEWIS and CORKILL, who were "British Home Children." They were "child migrants" in Liverpool, England, in 1873, and were "shipped to Canada" in 1874. My CORKILL great-great-grandfather was from the Isle of Man, and he married a woman from Whitehaven, Cumberland. My LEWIS great-great-grandfather was from Shropshire, England, and he married a woman from Cheshire, England. So, my "family tree" is based "on the U.K. - from the 1600's to the 1800's ! However, I am on many Lists, both in North America, and the United Kingdom, and I've noticed that people researching in England seem to concentrate on t heir "rellies" and ancestors in the 1800's, and don't seem too concerned about "the 1600's" - which is what I'd like to be able to find information on ! FYI: In case I haven't mentioned it lately, don't forget that many of the "Home Children" were -- HENDERSON's ! If you have an ancestor or relative you can't find - perhaps they were "shipped to Canada" (1860 to 1930). (Ages 21 down to Age 3) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. Many researchers in Canada and the U.S. have information on the HENDERSON's (and KERR's) who came to Canada in 1823. But, none of us can find out who their parents were in Sligo. So, we have asked the Sligo Research Centre to try to find out for us. William and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON traveled with John and Ann (HENDERSON) KERR and William's brother, Samuel and Catherine (?) HENDERSON, (brothers born 1780's Sligo) (With them were my other ancestors: Patrick and Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR and Miss Elizabeth KERR who married in Canada) ----- Original Message ----- From: "James and Barbara Kalil" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 9:17 PM Subject: RE: [HENDERSON] of UK > How many of us are searching for Henderson's of Uk...Scotland or > England??? > It seems most of the Henderson's in this group are American. > My Henderson's were my Great Grandparents born 1850's....and > Grandparents born 1898 so still very current family info.

YES!!!! I've often wondered if we need to make a break-off group of UK Hendersons. There's so many email messages from this group that I don't even read since they're about American Hendersons. I have a Harry Josiah Henderson born 1877 in St. Aubyn, Devonport, Devon. His father, William, was born sometime in 1840 maybe in Devonport. William married Mary Ann Elizabeth /PLODDON or Roddon/ in 1866. She was born about 1846 in Devonport. This is one of my lines I'm stuck at.
