Colville Armstrong
« on: Wednesday 25 March 09 16:27 UTC (UK) »
Hello All,
I'm trying to confirm the name & birthplace etc of the father of the following:

Colville Armstrong born either 1823 or 1826 in Edinburgh

I think his father was George.

I don't have membership of the Scotland's People etc.

Many thanks,
Bob

There are no matches at all for "Colville Armstrong" on Scotland's People or family search.org, where did you get the information you have so far?


Kirsty

edit: The only match it gets at all is for a birth in the Statutory registers in the past 50 years or so.

Hello Kirsty,
Firstly, thanks for your help. The info came via a possible distant relative & I'm not able to get further from them at present.

It's usually best to try and follow a paper trail where possible. Do you have anything else on this family that might help? Any apparent decendents of Colville?

Do you know if the family were members of the Established Church of Scotland, or RC or something else? Only the established church records are available through SP.

Curious? A possible emigrant?

There was a George Armstrong who married Margaret Lawson and was having children in South Leith in 1819 and 1821. There are only the 2 girls listed on the IGI, but it could be a possible family.
