*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. 

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: son Andrew (Jr) (C1) stayed in Ireland -  Robert  [C2] and George (Cousin) [C4]  left for New Zealand in 1862 and started our lineage.

Correspondence from Heather Elliot
Hello Tom,
 
Nice to hear from you, I enjoyed your website, it is very interesting, there is certainly a lot of information regarding the Lendrums on it, more than I knew.  I was Lendrum before I married and I am originally from Fivemiletown, now living about 25 miles from it.  I am not sure if we are related, but may be as it is not that common a name,  I will see what information I can find out.  The James Lendrum that I am desended from lived on a farm which is about 2 miles from Fivemiletown, and my uncles still live there.  I know the area's that listed for the other Lendrum's they are about 1 to 2 miles from Fivemiletown, Cullane, Broomhill, Gortmore, Mullaghmore  are all adjoining, each other.  There is a nice large house at Broomhill which my dad thinks was built by Lendrum's not sure about this.  My mother has access to St John's Church in Fivemiletown and I will check with her regarding Andrew.  My dad also said that Andrew Lendrum founded an Orange lodge, which is called Lendrum's Temperance True Blues, he is actually in it. 
 
I want to get access to the church records at Clogher, which is 6 miles from Fivemiletown, it was the first church in the area, St John's was built in late 1700's so the link may be there.  When I get time I will try and do this. I will also forward our family tree.
