Andrew & James ARMSTRONG
« on: Wednesday 25 May 22 15:48 BST (UK) »
Hello I am trying to find out about my Armstrong relatives who were in Armagh in the 1800s.  My great-great-great grandfather Andrew Armstrong is listed as a shepherd on his son James' marriage details.  My 88yr old father says the Armstrongs were sheep stealers from Langholm (border rievers) but I do not know if they were the first generation to come over to NI.  I have no address for him and on searching in Griffiths Valuations I found several Andrew Armstrongs but do not know which is the correct one.  Is it possible to find out the name of his wife and any children other than James.  James married Elizabeth Emma Crozier on 1 Jan 1879 in the United Presbyterian Church, Portadown.  I do not know his date of birth it just says 21 which could be older.   They lived in Charles St and had their first 2 children born in Lurgan and later moved to Belfast.  Her father Robert was a weaver.

Hello from Newtownards

Thank you so much - my dad was just asking this morning about the son Andrew Armstrong who lived at Knocknagoney, Belfast.  We didn't know about his 2 daughters, so that gives me more to find out.  I am delighted you found the 2 deceased children of James & Eliz Emma (Joseph and Sarah - do you think her second name might be Lena rather than Lind).  I had found out about Minnie as she was the twin sister of my grandfather.

Any luck with James Armstrong's birth/death or his father the shepherd!

Here's the death record for the Sarah 'Lind' born 1888.
Died February 1890 at Ballyhackamore - named as Emma Lena Jane Armstrong.
