The place named Hendon is in the London Metropolitan area and is situated some seven miles north-west of Charing Cross. The Hendron variant is now chiefly found in County Armagh, Ireland, but it earliest origins lie in Middlesex. Early Origins of the Hendron familyThe surname Hendron was first found in Middlesex.

| Hendron migration to New Zealand | + |
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Hendron Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- James Hendron, aged 24, a farmer, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "Earl Granville" in 1880
