Answer 2

Henderson
This is an ancient Scottish name, the patronymic (meaning "son of") form of Hendry, a mainly Scottish
variant of the personal name "Henry". Some bearers of the name Henderson are descended from
Henrysons, the "d" being a common intrusive element in many languages between "n" and "r". Henry is
from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements "haim" or "heim", home, and "ric", power. It
was introduced into England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066 as "Henri".

In Scotland the Hendersons of Fordell in Fifeshire are the chief Lowland family of the name, and are
believed to be descended from an old Dumfriesshire family of Henrysons. A branch of the Clan Gunn bears
the name Henderson, and there is another Clan Henderson of Glencoe. An interesting namebearer,
recorded in the "Dictionary of National Biography", was John Henderson (1747 - 1785), who was a notable
actor of his day, considered second only to David Garrick. The first recorded spelling of the family name is
shown to be that of
William Henrisone, which was dated
1374, in Scottish Papers, in the Public Records Office, during the reign of
King Robert 11 of Scotland, 1371 - 1390.

Answer 3

A history of the Henderson Family (c1746 in Abbotshall and Kinghorn, Fife, Scotland) and their links to the surnames Breach (c1791 in East London, England), Burt (Scotland), Carden (c1579 in Falmer, Sussex and then Brighton), Cochrane (c1690 in Co.Donegal, Ireland), Colhoun (Ireland), Crawford (c1110 in Clydesdale, Lanarkshire, Scotland and from c1610 in Co.Donegal, Ireland), Eastland (Weybridge, Surrey), Franckling (c1759 in East London), Hally (Scotland), Kincaid (c1680 in Ulster), Little (Ireland), McCallum (Scotland), Neilson (Co.Donegal, Ireland), Olley (c1745 in Norfolk and East London), Powell (East London and Taunton, Somerset), Purviance (Co.Donegal, Ireland), Redman (c1760 in Isle of Wight and Brighton, Sussex) and many others.

This record of Family History tries to paint a broader picture than just the Genealogy of the Hendersons, and includes Social History (for example, shirt manufacturing in England and Northern Ireland, and descriptions of life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries). Photographs of ancestors, family life, homes, cemeteries, etc are displayed to add interest to otherwise dry words. Several extracts from family trees are used to illustrate the lineage of a specific group and emigration is traced, through maps, to America, Canada, India, Mauritius, New Zealand, Trinidad and West and South Africa.
