Armstrong in Rowfoot nr Haltwhistle

[toniguzzi]

hope any one can help

i think ive traced a Robert Armstrong b 1819 to Rowfoot a hamlet of Haltwhistle
his wife was called Mary
he has at least one son george b 1847 in Fell End slaggyford  possibly as
george was born there just a few miles down the road !!

if this is the correct Robert he may have remarried around 1861-1871 to Ann and lived in mickley square

if anyone can help to confirm this and help me move on to Roberts parents id appreciate it

thanks Suz

the first record looks correct

the second does not !
now is the problem i cannot get any records to
Robert at or prior to birth

i got the Rowfoot birthplace by chance a Robt Armstrong was living in mickley sq
with i suspect George his soon and family around 1871 census , george was married in Lanchester
in 1871
its a bit of guess work  see https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5B1-NRB

1871 census -which you posted a link to Gives Robert, Ann and 4 yr old daughter Jane (no George with them)

1881 Robert age 63 has p.o.b. Haltwhistle - is with wife Ann 42 b. Haltwhistle and children Jane,14, Robert 9, Elizabeth 6

why have you dismissed the baptism record from familysearch??

hi Suz

its looking good ive re looked at medomsley record it looks good
George was married on 27th may 1871 maybe before the census
hence he's not there !

are the bishops transcripts of Roberts birth or christening etc
and parents robert and mary
these dont seem to match the family search you found earlier
