Forgot to mention that I was given to understand that my mother was going to name me Marion after my great grandmother (Armstrong) but opted for Marilyn instead. I do believe that the Armstrong's (Sugar Farmer's) are somehow related. My father was an only son of an only son as is my brother and his son Byron. I am no so well acquainted with the longer term family history but am enjoying the time spent on this site.

Hi, This is my paternal grandfather. He and Esther Homan were divorced. They had one son, Robert Thomas Gemmell (deceased). My father, married Joan Kelly and sired three children: Michael Robert Gemmell DOB 16.05.1953. Then I was born - Marilyn Patricia Gemmell (DOB 13.09.1954) followed by Melinda Joan Gemmell; her date of birth is 26.10.1958.
My Grandfather subsequently married Enid and they were married until their death. Both passed away in Stanger; a town on the North Coast of Kwa Zulu Natal. I was approximately 17 years of age at the time of their deaths (1971).
