I know the Armstrong surname was numerous in the area, but just on the off-chance, do any of you have a John Armstrong married to a Hannah Matthews, possibly around 1830/40's (They had at least one daughter, Elizabeth Jane born c1843)

Hi Kelly,

Just scrolling through some pages and I saw your posting, I have an Armstrong connection in my family, he was John Armstrong, born about 1803 in Fermanagh, Ireland, he married a lady named Susan (surname unknown) and they had a number of children, one being Fanny (Frances) born 1828 in Fermanagh, she moved to live in Scotland and married a Thomas McAuley, is there any connection with your Armstrongs?

Regards

Gwyn

Hi Gwyn,

Do you know who the parents were of your John Armstrong.

Thanks

Hi Kelly

I'm afraid I dont know who his parents were, he married a lady named Susan and they had at least three children, Fanny (born 1828 in Fermanagh) William (born 1826) and Susan (born 1834)

Regards

Gwyn

Unfortunately a fairly common surname in and around the Fermanagh/Monaghan border area, so not managed to glean anything further on my folks yet.

Hi
  I don't think I have any connection to the Armstrongs listed ...and I know from searching that there were "lots" of them in the areas mentioned.

  My Armstrongs lived on Ennishmore/Inishmore Isle. They were in Drummee and Tully. My original William Amstrong was b 1764 in Dumfries Scotland. Went to Fermanagh Co and met Jane Montgomery b 1774 (Inishmore). They married and had 18 children (so I hear lol).

   Some of these children immigrated to US. In my searching I tend to look for references back to Inishmore Area. There was also a son Montgomery Armstrong b 1812 who married Sarah Buchanan. They lived on Inishmore till 1856? when they moved to Tyrone County near Omagh. I believe many of their children immigrated to US, Canada, or Australia.

    Just thought I would put this here in case anyone sees a connection.
