Re: [Bann Valley] Re: Welcome to BannValley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Bill,
Are you sure that your family owned the land? Most of the people were
tennant farmers.
If they did in fact own the land there is probably a record of their
ownership under landowners.
Griffith's Valuation may have something for the townland.
Parish Records were not started in most places until the to mid 1800's so
parish records will not be available before that.
I have reviewed the Census from 1831 for the Termoneeny parish to Mullagh
townland and not a single Henderson listed.
Burial Records may be of assistance if you know where Thomas is buried.
Anyone else any suggestions on Bann Valley?
Lynn

Hello there,
I'm Bill Henderson,
I am undertaking family research - The Hendersons from Ballyagan,
Garvagh. My family have lived there for nearly 200 years. Sadly the
farm is out 'of our hands'. I am stuck on Thomas Henderson, who is my
Great Great Grand Father 1816 - 1902. I cant 'get past him' though. He
married Matilda McCloy at Ballykelly, 1841ish, but the parish records
have been lost, so we cant 'track his father'. We think Thomas had a
brother - Archie - who ran a tannery in Garvagh upto around mid
1860's. We think Thomasa's mother was called Sarah. Anyone who knows
anything about my family, however small would be greatly appreciated.
My Great Grandfather Robert Wilson Henderson was a Dr. and known as
Uncle Bob. He was a son of Thomas. Any info on this man, however small
would be greatly appreciated. If I can be of assistance to anyone,
please give me a shout.
Many thanks
Bill Henderson
