Colville Armstrong

[castlebob]

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.

Sadly that's all I can get at present, Kirsty. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

And no deaths for Colville Armstrong in Scotland after 1855 and not on the 1841 census

Curious? A possible emigrant?
Thanks,
