of 9793 Hello, I just checked the archives of the HENDERSON Message Board at www.genforum.com, and found this information on HENDERSON's from Ireland who migrated to New Brunswick. This was posted in August 2003: During the Irish famine, a number of Henderson's arrived on the ship, 'Marchioness of Clydesdale', sailing from Derry, Ireland to Saint John, NB in 1847. These were: Joseph Henderson of Drung, Donegal Mary Henderson of Drung, Donegal Roseanna Henderson of Drung, Donegal Catherine Henderson of Drung, Donegal William Henderson b. ca. 1837 of Drung, Donegal Charles James Henderson b. ca. 1840 of Drung, Donegal Agnes Henderson b. ca. 1841 of Drung, Donegal It appears that this might have been the family of Joseph and Mary HENDERSON with their children born in the 1830's and 1840's. I was wondering if anyone knows anything else about them. What I am looking for is the parents of an Eliza(beth) HENDERSON who was born in New Brunswick approx. 1855. And, I am wondering if she was part of the above family. ... I have some newly found step-cousins, and their grandmother was born Hazel SHAW in 1895 in Saint John, NB. And, her parents were Edward SHAW, b~1855, and Elizabeth HENDERSON, b~1855. I am trying to create a family-tree for my step-cousins, and I would like to know more information about Edward and Eliza SHAW. This couple is in the 1881 Census for Saint John, NB, and they are listed with their 7-month-old daughter, and they have a Jessie HENDERSON, Age 10, living with them. (When she married, Jessie used the name, Jessie SHAW, and was known as "the big sister" of the SHAW's ten children !) In the 1881 Census, Eliza said she was born in N.B., but she was "Irish." If she was not a child of Joseph and Mary HENDERSON, does anyone know if other HENDERSON couples arrived in New Brunswick in the 1840's? Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) FYI: This research is for the descendants of my paternal grandfather's "second" wife. My maternal grandfather's grandmother was born Elizabeth HENDERSON in 1827 in Argenteuil County, Quebec Province, Canada. Her parents were William and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON, and they arrived in Quebec in 1823. In 1851, Elizabeth married her cousin, Robert KERR, whose parents were Patrick and Elizabeth (KERR??) KERR, who had also arrived in Quebec in 1823.
