NZ Lendrums

The Lendrums - In New Zealand


To be verified.

Where to begin?



Theory (X) ___ The earliest Lendrum:
_____________( I can find as of this date) is Andrew Lendrum - born 1648 and living on a farm in Cullenane

______________(Spelling could be Cullynane), Blessingbourn, near Fivemiletown, in parish Clogher - country Tyrone, Ireland. c 1714


Theory (Y) ___They moved to Ireland 1690 (with William of Orange ) to Corlea county, Tyrone.


Theory (Z) ___A son of the Earl of Buchen took the surname Lendrum.

_____________(Derived from the place where he lived in north eastern Aberdeenshire).


The New Zealand Lendrums (as our records show) Andrew Lendrum

*SO ARE THESE LENDRUMS OUR FIRST ANCESTORS?

*

Putting together information from other Lendrum family connections, gathering names, places, dates: reading books from libraries, government departments (Archway Records) family web-pages online and joining the New Zealand Society of Genealogists - has helped to reach this understanding.

Yet still unsure if the parents of Lendrums who came to New Zealand are connected to the following Lendrum families?


AS I SEE IT AT THE MOMENT

Family research [info]tells us, a Mrs. Lendrum (Senior), mother to Andrew and maybe a brother John were living near Fivemiletown (No mention of husband) could be living with uncles and aunties - Fleming, Brown and Wilson. (Early Lendrum Family Tree- (Attachment))

At sometime later, maybe Andrew married Mary and they moved to a farm in Mullaghmore - only up the road. (See map) - (Maybe where they grew Flax?)[FG]

Andrew[C]and Mary had children: their first son Andrew (Jr)(C1)stayed in Ireland - there other sons Robert[C2]and George [C4]left for New Zealand in 1862 and started our lineage.


The maps of Northern Ireland show it has six counties, (Derry) Londondery,Antrim, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh and Down .
Each county is divided intoTown-lands,Parishes (Suburbs).

We know Andrew (Jr) was born in 1828 [info] assume his parents were married the year before - working on the assumption, Andrew (the father) was 30 when he married - his birth date would circa 1797.

[FG)In Northern Ireland for over three hundred years linen manufacture has been an important industry, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Practically every town and village had a mill or a factory.

A document shows that in 1796 - a James and Andrew Lendrum of Clogher and Dromore parishes in county Tyrone, were Flax growers.
