Hello all,
 
I wonder if you have any more information on the Lannen / Lannin family, who seem to be 
connected to the Hendricks of Old Chelsea, Quebec.
 
From the film of St. Stephen's Church, Old Chelsea, we have:
 
24-3-1850
Baptism of Mark(?) Lennon
s/o Mark (?) Lennon and Catherine Henrick of this mission
Sponsors: Martin Mulvihill and Mary Daly.
 
Now we have located the baptisms of 6 children born in Kennystown, Co. Wicklow, 
to Michael Hendrick and Margaret Balfe (this couple is buried in St. Stephen's 
Cemetery, Old Chelsea):
 
Mary Hanrick, baptized 1820-03-19
Catherine Hanrick, baptized 1822-07-24
Tom Hanrick, baptized 1824-06-05
Denis Handrick, baptized 1828-08-06
Johanna Handrick, baptized 1833-03-24
Patt Hanrick, baptized 1835-11-12.
 
Patrick Hendrick married Julia Mulvihill, so it seems likely that the Catherine 
Hendrick who married Mark Lennon (with a Mulvihill sponsor for the child) would 
be Patrick's sister.
 
Any help with the Lennons/Lannens would be wonderful.

Hi Al,
 
I consulted with Della, and we'd be happy if you set up a new page for the Hendricks.
 
Thanks again...Anne

Hi Anne and everyone:
 
Ann, there is some info regarding the Lannens at the Daniel Carroll page. 
I gather you have already seen that page.

In addition, Michael Daley has recently sent in a connection to the Lannen / Lannin family in 
Farrelton and those in Osgoode Township. 
His material (interesting as usual) is on the Guilfoyle page 
 
What I would like to do is set up a new page for the Hendricks. You have sent a lot of 
info regarding their very early days and we could link to the Dan Carroll page and the 
Guilfoyle / Kilfoyle page.
 
I'll also dig up the 1881 census for the Hendricks and see what is there. There were 
also some Hendricks who attended St. Michael's Church in Huntley Township who may or 
may not be related.
 
Let me know Anne, if it's OK to set up a new Hendricks page based on your e-mail.
 
Thanks again.
 
... Al Lewis

Hello All,
Many thanks for setting up the Hendrick site...I had reached a wall until Anne 
came along. I thought that I would forward as much information as I have on the 
original family that came from Kennystown, County Wicklow, Ireland and settled in 
the Meech Creek Valley of Chelsea, Québec. Their first appearance in Chelsea was at 
the death of their son Denis 1 July 1847. They could have lived somewhere else 
prior to this but I do not have any confirmed information.. Ottawa is a possibility 
as Mary married to Patrick Hannigan was married in Ottawa, also Elizabeth/Helen 
married to Figg Kelley. 
Michael and Margaret's son Patrick(Patt) married to Julia Mulvihill was my ggrandfather. 
I have pretty much all of the records concerning their descendants.

(Mary and Patrick lived on Nelson St., in Ottawa, Ontario. Their deaths, along 
with their daughter Margaret b. circa 1853, d. 26 August 1881 is recorded in 
Notre Dame Cemetery Records. Another daughter, Johanna was married to James Nesbitt.

There are Hendricks tied in with the Michael Plunkett family as well.

Hello All,
 
Thanks to the work of Michael Brennan and a long list of volunteers at County Carlow 
Genealogy Project Website, new information has been found on the Hendrick family of 
Meech Creek (Chelsea, Québec) since my last correspondence.
 
The original family to the area was Michael Hendrick (b. circa 1790) and Margaret Balfe 
(b. circa 1795) who are first noted in Chelsea at the burial of their son Denis Hendrick 
in 1847.
 
As mentioned in an earlier note, Michael Hendrick and Margaret Balfe along with six of 
their seven children came to the Chelsea area from Kennystown, County Wicklow Ireland 
sometime between 1835 and 1847. An eviction record shows a Michael Hendrick on a 1846 
passenger list (this has yet to be confirmed).
 
Since this earlier discovery I have found Michael's baptism, his parents Denis Hanrick 
and Mary Brien, along with seven (7) siblings in Lissalican, County Carlow. The records 
were found in the Parish of Borris, County Carlow.
 
Children of Denis Hanrick/Handrick/Hendrick and Mary Brien/Breen/O'Brien
 
1. Patt Hanrick, b. abt. 23 February 1788
2. Michael Hanrick, b. abt. 17 April 1790 and married to Margaret Balfe 
   (residents of Meech Creek)
3. Thomas Hanrick, b. abt. 20 May 1792
4. Jerrimy Hanrick, b. abt. 28 April 1795
5. James Hanrick, b. abt. 24 November 1797
6. John Hanrick, b. abt 8 July 1800
7. Edmond Handrick, b. abt. 5 March 1804
8. Tim Handrick, b. abt. 18 October 1808
 
I am still searching for other Hendricks' who might have come with Michael and Margaret 
to the Ottawa area in the early to mid 1800's. 
 
One possible relative could be a Margaret Henrick, daughter of John Henrick and Mary 
(Unknown) married to a William Slattery on 9 February 1858. This information was found 
in records for Notre Dame Parish (The Cathedral) in Ottawa. Margaret's father John 
Henrick could be a brother of Michael Hanrick.
 
And research by many on Margaret (spouse of Michael Hendrick) Balfe's family has not 
produced any conclusive results as to her connection to the Balfes' of Smiths Falls. 
A great many similarities exist....originating from County Wicklow and having lived on 
Lord Fitzwilliam's estate but we have yet to make a direct connection to my Margaret 
Balfe/Hendrick. 
 
The search continues....

I was browsing tonight and came upon your web site.
I'm paul hendrick.....my grandfather was edwin hendrick whose brother charlie and 
patrick lived in Chelsea. 
charlie's wife was loretta and they lived in a white home just above mile hill 
heading into Chelsea from Hull.
edwin's wife(my grandmother) eileen was a daly.

I know for a fact we are decendants of michael and margaret and will have to 
get hold of our family tree to confirm where the connection hooks up.
my father is daly hendrick a toronto based geologist who grew up in sandy hill ottawa.
I'm appreciative that much of my family history is buried at st. stephens.
 
all the best
Paul Hendrick

Hi folks
 
I'm David Hendrick, son of Gerald Hendrick (deceased); nephew of Leo (deceased) and 
Vincent. Many memorable summers were spent on the Hendrick farm near Chelsea. 
 
Last evening, New Year's Eve, my wife and I were together with a group of friends 
having dinner, and during the dinner conversation I was told about this website.
 
Today I spent most of the day speaking to my uncle Vincent and studying the website. 
I have learned many interesting facts as a result.
 
My piece of the family tree seems to go like this:
I am a grandson of John (Jack) Hendrick and Veronica O'Connor; 
great grandson of Patrick Hendrick and Julia Mulvihill; 
and great great grandson of Michael Hendrick and Margaret Balfe.
***Della, I believe you visited with Vincent to discuss some of our family 
   tree earlier this year.
***Paul, I believe your father was a brother of Morris Hendrick, and he had begun 
   some research on the Hendrick family ancestry??
 
This has been a very intriguing day today, and I want to say thanks to my friend 
Will Dunlop (who also has some roots in the Chelsea area that we are trying to trace) 
who connected me to this website, and to all those that have been involved in the 
excellent research contained in this website.
 
I look forward to receiving any further information.
 
Regards, 
David
