Hello everyone,
I have registered this account for my Mother, she is from Dromohair. My mother would love to get a photo of her Mother if possible, Florence May Mchugh (formely Armstrong)
Florence May Armstrong parents were William Armstrong and Jane ( formely Sunter)
William was married twice, his first Wife died early of an illness along with two of the youngest children.
William had 5 children with his first wife, we are already confused as we are not sure if her name was Catherine Middleton or Margaret Blair, we know one of the siblings married Margaret and another married Blair. William had 5 children with her , Margaret Jane, George, Robert, Mary Ann and William.
They all lived close to Carrigeencor Lake in Rockmount House.
When his first wife died, William was introduced to Jane Sunter by the Vicar and he remarried and the 3 remaining children were raised by Jane and William who then had six children together, Edward, Rebecca, William, Elizabeth (Eliza) Albert and Florence my mothers mother, my Grandmother.
Hi my name is Seamus, my mother is Eveline and this is her registered account.
Mum said only one of Williams children went to USA his name was Robert.
Williams first wife Catherine? was expecting her fifth child when she became ill and some of the children developed a serious illness? she died aged 37 her 8 year old son George died six weeks later and William died 18 months after George
We know Edward and William my mums uncles fought in WW1, Edward survived a gunshot to the chest a hairs length from his heart thanks to a penknife in his top pocket, he was able to return to work at the Guinness factory in Dublin and to his wife, he was shot in Dardanelles his friend an old man said it was a very painfull place to get shot. Uncle William was very young he fought in the battle of the Somme, toured Dardanelles, Constantinople and Mesopotamia. Its worth noting Williams grandson was killed whilst serving with the British Army in the Falklands.
So there was a small school in Carrigeencor where all the children went to i hope to find some pictures ive only just been manifested by you lol how magical.
My granny Florence May Armstrong 1904-1961 was the youngest of Williams 11 children. Robert Armstrong was my mothers Grandfather. We have no photograph of my Granny when she was young.
