Michael Hendry Co. Derry 1886

[kjmck]

Hi all,

I am struggling to find the birth record for the above Michael Hendry. He married Mary Curran on April 30th 1909 in Broxburn, Scotland. On the marriage record he is listed as being 23 years old, and his parents were Michael Hendry & Mary Ann Tower (both living at the time of the marriage). On the 1911 census Michael is listed as 25 years old and being born in Ireland. I believe the Hendry family (sometimes transcribed as Henry) came from Co. Derry.

Can anyone help me find Michael Jr's. birth record or even the marriage for his parents Michael & Mary Ann?

Thank you!!

Here's Michael's birth registration-

This could be him in the same area in 1901 as a servant-

This is likely the rest of the family in 1901-

Some of the family still there in 1911- parents married 30 years, 7 children/6 living-

Possibly father Michael (not granted until 4 May 1931)- Henery Michael of Rocktown county Londonderry farmer died 27 May 1926 Administration Londonderry 4 May to Mary Ann Henery the widow. Effects £3.

Thank you aghadowey so much. Unfortunately the link you sent me to his birth registration showed up nothing on the page. I had used that website to try and find it but came up with nothing 

I see in 1901 Mary Ann Hendry (Tower) was listed as being from England, but in 1911 she is put down as being from Ireland

I just re-checked the link for Michael's birth and it works fine for me (using Chrome). Perhaps you are using iPhone or tablet? if not perhaps try different browser?

I can't find a marriage in Ireland but if Mary Ann's birthplace in 1901 census (England) is correct there's a possible (Oct./Dec.1879) marriage in Chester le Street district, County Durham, England (volume 10a page 559)- Michael Henry & Mary Ann Tower on same page.

I have been able to see it now, I had to verify I was human apparently 

I see that the name must have been Henry originally, and not Hendry. To this day though the name is Hendry. You've been a massive help, I will take note of the websites you used for other members of the family tree.

The whole family tree is Irish, and I haven't researched much using Irish records before, it seems a little more difficult than English/Welsh/Scottish record hunting.

1881 census looking good- Michael born c1855 Ireland and wife Mary Ann born c1860 Norfolk, England-

Henry and Hendry are more or less interchangeable in Ireland.

Could the same websites be used to find Michael Henry's birth record in the 1850's?
