WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND LENDRUMS WEB SITE: The intention is to build a comprehensive list of all "The Lendrums"
However; with all the information received (most grateful) and information re-searched - the need to include other Lendrums (and extended families) has been catered for in 'Book three' and 'Book five'.
Disclosure:Book One - The New Zealand Lendrums. Starting with Andrew Lendrum of Ireland in 1648 - Including Robert and George, who migrated to in New Zealand in 1862. Possibly the first New Zealand Lendrums?
Book Two- The Lendrum Daughters. A list of our daughters and their families
Book Three- The Coymn / Lendrum - Landrum. This book records early history and information relating to other Lendrums
Book Four- The Twenty - First Century Children. All those born since 2000 +
Book Five- The Relatives & Relations. Our extended family members - those without the Lendrum name, but are related by marriage
Ways to navigate the site.
(1) Enter your name or the name of the person you are looking for, then click 'Search'

This is not an interactive site - it's a home based, amateur, no cost, free to all who may wish to contribute photographs and information about any Lendrum (In New Zealand or the world).
To add content, photo's, correct errors - please forward via the 'Contact link'.
Thanks for the memories, the photographs and the stories
I have taken the original work compiled in 1978, by my father -George Alexander Lendrum and other members of the family, as the bases to my version of the Lendrum family history.
As with history who can tell if all entries are correct and what has been recorded is true.
Those involved did spend a lot of time researching the family background - they started from Ireland in 1770, providing information about our earlier ancestors; where they lived, what they did, and their place in history - along with whom they married and the children they had.
Some of it's confusing (I'm sorry - I did ask George when he was here), but when you are young,living your own life - doing your own thing - who cares about the past and getting old.
With the help of some Lendrums from my generation, I have added new information and pictures (always looking for more).
This version is no way the whole story, or the last to be written (I hope) I 'm just bring it up to date (as of this date) to help the next generations of Lendrums to understand their past and where they fit in to the large Lendrum lineage.
I hope the information I have add, is mostly accurate and of some interest to others.
I take this opportunity to thank my family and those who have helped with information now, and will in the future.
