There is a burial in Birmingham in Feb 1859 for a John Armstrong of the correct approx age.

Daughter Mary Ann just MAY have been working as a servant, shown as just Mary, in Aston in 1861, but as mckha has said - her abode at the time of marriage may help.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

John Armstrong was an army pensioner per the 1851 census; there are army records for a John Armstrong born circa 1798 in Ball, Mayo, in 51st Foot, discharged to pension in 1837.

Pension records show that he died on 17 February 1861.

So is the 1859 death not him?
If not, where did he die?

Yes he died 17th Feb 1859 at 12 Court Carendon? Street in Ladywood so he wouldn't be on the census but his family should be and I can't find them
