Hi everyone. I would like to dedicate this web site to the memory of my eldest son,  Andrew William HENDERSON, who died on 12th April, 2008, aged 43 years and my beautiful wife Catherine Irene HENDERSON, who died aged 69 years on 12th January, 2013. Both died after a two  year fight against cancer. They  will always be in the minds of all our family, who loved  them both  dearly.  We will all treasure the fond memories we have of them both.

I am the William Telfer HENDERSON who features on this website.I  was born in the little mining village of Palmersville, just 5 miles north east  of Newcastle upon Tyne. A 'Geordie' boy and proud of it !!

I think that everyone who is interested in genealogy has wished the same thing,  that is that they could have discussed in more detail what their parents, grand  parents and even great grandparents remembered about their family, whilst they  were still alive to  tell what they knew. I am no exception. How I wish I could  talk to my grandparents right now..........

Alas, that is not possible, but this site is my attempt to leave something for  my grandchildren and great grandchildren, which may prevent them from having  the same regrets as I do.  Even if they are not interested at the moment, I  hope to leave them as much information as I can about those who went before  them.

This site is constantly under construction. It does not just contain our immediate relatives, but  wherever possible, I have traced the lineage of connected families, as the title of the web site  indicates.
  
 Please feel  free to explore it and if we share any common ancestry, or if it is of any other  interest to you in whatever way,  please either contact me by e mail or put any comment you wish  in my Guest Book.

Just for the information of visitors, the names highlighted in red are the direct  ancestors of my grand daughters, Alice Jane Henderson  and Jenny Henderson, whilst  those in green are the ancestors of my grandson Alexander Iain Henderson and grand  daughter, Amelia Joy Henderson.

Those names highlighted in Yellow are the descendants of Robson WALTON, who according to all  censuses, was born  in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1806.   Those highlighted  in Blue, the  descendants  of  Thomas MADDOX, born 1766 in Fort George, near Boston, in America. These are the main two '  Brick Walls '  I have hit whilst doing my research. Not the only two by any means, but two of my  major  direct line families, which I would dearly love to explore further. Any help would be  appreciated.
