Biographical information

Biographical information

Contribute ›
    • Alexander Hendrie was the sn of John Galbraith Hendrie and Elizabeth Annie Hendrie, of Auckland, New Zealand. AWMM
    • My uncle was the son of John Galbraith Hendrie and Elizabeth Annie Hendrie but they were not fron New Zealand, they from Motherwell Scotland. The error has occurred because his mother (my grandmother) migrated to New Zealand soon after the end of the war. I hope you can correct this error which goes right back to the UK records.
      Many thanks
      John Hendrie Public - john - Other relative - 18 November 2022 - Alexander Hendrie was my father brother
