Hi From Down Under, :D
Would any kind person assist with a marriage record of Robert Armstrong who married Margaret Blair around 1841.
This couple had five children Isabella c 1843, James c 1845, Robert c 1846, William c 1848 and Mary Ann c 1852.
The marriage and births of these children are believed to have taken place in the vacinity of Dromahaire, Leitrim. The family appear to have been protestant.
An application by "a" Robt Armstrong to register to vote in 1845 lists his address as Gortnalbrit, Dromahaire, Leitrim.
I'd be delighted and very grateful if any person would be able to help trace this family in any way,
Many thanks,
Pilgrims Progress :D

Hi there, I don't know if this is of any help, but here goes. On the website www.brsgenealogy.com there is a marriage in Leitrim 1841 for Margaret Blair/Robert Armstrong. It will costs you Euro 5 to view the complete record. It looks like most of the children's births are there as well.

Hi Madri, :)
Thank you recommending this most helpful site. I have already located marriage record and death record of this couple. Pity it is soooo expensive for each record. Maybe I have been too spoilt by Scotlands People or our NSW, Australia free indexes that contain more certain clues. Will have to save up to research the Armstrongs in Ireland any further.
Many thanks for helping- it is much appreciated,
Pilgrims Progress ;) :)

Hello Pilgrim. I am aware of the expense of the site, and although I have not bought too many records, it has got me info I needed. The site is not complete of records and I feel where there is more than one name on the same date/year and County, it is very difficult to pick out the correct family. I did contact them and point it out and I know others have done the same. They know there is no other place to search and not all of us can go to Dublin and spend days on end searching, so it doesn't really bother them. - it's guaranteed cash I'm afraid.
Happy searching.

Hi Pilgrim,
I may be able to help you here. I am living in Dromahair. My husband is the great grandson of William Armstrong, born 1848. I have loads of information which I have dug out about the Armstrongs, including some sousins in America which I turned up last year. I'm in the process of trying to get to view the old Church of Ireland records here, if I can get get the current custodian to grant me access. I'd be happy to share what I already have.

Hi Berlin,
This is absolutely fantastic news! Thank you soooo much. I'd love to hear from you again to learn more,
Pilgrims Progress :D :D :D

Hello Berlin,
You may be a livesaver for me. My great grandfather Adam Armstrong was born Aug. 5,1836 in Dromahair (the firstborn). They were CofI. His father Robert Armstrong was born June 1,1808, town not known. His wife was Margaret Eccles, born Sligo 1814. They left Ireland in 1846 or 1847 for North Gower, Ontario, Canada (just south of Ottawa). Five children on voyage were in birth order - Adam, Wiliam Eccles, Archibald, Isabella, Robert Lewis. Not known if these four were born in Dromahair or elsewhere in Ireland. Other children born in Canada were Elizabeth, Annie Eccles, John, Maria, Sarah Jane, James Eccles. Lots of names repeat in later generations - Adam, Christopher, Robert, Isabella. We did not have any Simons, Patricks or Thomases, from Robert's (1808) children born from 1836 on down. Does this link up with anything you have? Had friends visit Dromahair two summers ago, did a bit of looking. Got Manorhamilton phone number of minister for the church, also a local merchant volunteered to help, but I have not followed up. I feel you may be the best source. Thank you.

Hi North Gower,
Your information is very interesting. Your Armstrongs seem different to mine. As far as I know there were 2 families of Armstrongs in Dromahair, although I'm sure they would be linked if we looked back far enough, Dromahair being such a small place. Some names also seem common to both, e.g. Isabella, Robert. I haven't yet been able to look at the Church of Ireland records, but will get on the case again over the Christmas holidays. I'll dig about for anything I can find on Armstrongs and let you know what I find. Are you on Ancestry.com? All my information is on there, under the username bermc.

Hello Berlin,
Just a quick note tonight before bedtime. Thank you so much for answering so promptly. I do not have ancestry.com, but may use a friend's account periodically to check things out. Our genealogies have seemed rather complete, given the places we have to look, how far back we have already gone, and the surviving records in those places.
Small lacunae and large brick walls have defeated further archival research. But Scotlands people, the online Irish records and help from folks on Genforum, etc. have helped tremendously.
Using the reconstituted Irish records now on the web, knowing for sure that my ggf was born 1836 in Dromahair gave me a new starting point and there he was. I was pretty certain that some of the records I saw there might be his grandparents and earlier. I guess I needed some enouragement.
One gentleman near here had online info about Armstrongs (with many common first names to our group) from Manorhamilton, which I could see was nearby. He assured me that no Armstrong from Manorhamilton could possibly be related to those from Dromahair. Funny - I thought it seemed promising to pursue, since he too was against a brick wall. In any event,....
You have quite a bit of my basic info to consider as you pursue things a bit more. Robert Armstrong was a farmer here, his son Adam also a farmer, but reknowned as a great barn builder (his from the 1860's still stands in magnificent condition), his house also. He built one church, and a residence for one of his daughters. Did he learn this from his father?
As I sit here, I have several recent photos of Dromahair taken in 2009 by inlaws on a special sidetrip for us. Two of the church, one of its sign, five of Armstrong headstones in the cemetery, one of a green sign that says "Welcome to Dromahair, Seat of the O'Rourkes, Lord of Breifne", and one of the main street, on a slight downhill slope.
I shall look at your Ancestry info. Please let me know what else you find, or wish to know.
I am able to give you one more surprise. I read the fine print on your latest post more carefully, and saw the other families you are working on. My wife is a Grimes. Her great-great grandfather Thomas b. abt. 1801 and wife Mary Carroll b.abt. 1806, each born Ireland, no more place info. Son named Michael b. abt. 1838 Ireland and Thomas b. abt 1843. They all seemed to come to Canada together. The two Thomases were shoemakers, here at least.
A Grimes genealogist in Ottawa did extensive work on his great grandfather Michael Grimes and Michael's brother John Grimes. In doing it he came upon my wife's line. All his uncles assured him their two families were not related to ours. But, when Thomas (1801) arrived, he immediately took up residence for a few years in the village of Navan, Ontario 25 miles east of Ottawa, where the John Grimes family had been farming for a few years already. Next decennial census, the Thomas Grimes family is living in Chelsea, Quebec, 10 miles north across the Ottawa River from the City of Ottawa. Chelsea is where Michael Grimes had been farming already, for a few years too.
John Grimes had his mother ( and the mother of Michal of Cchelsea) living with his family in Navan. Our Thomas, Michael and John were of very similar ages (The drive today from Navan, Ontario in to Ottawa, on to Chelsea is today a delightful drive of less that an hour. Back then, it would have been a very, very tough trip by horse or wagon and ferry. Navan and Chelsea are still small villages, Ottawa is a big city).
When Thomas Grimes' wife Mary died in Chelsea in 1862, one of the witnesses was Michael Grimes, but which Michael? Son, or brother-in-law? And, we have never proved Thomas' son Michael really existed, we go only on someone else's research on his existence, which we have not duplicated.
The genealogy of Michael Grimes of Chelsea is called "The Descendants of Michael Grimes - from Tipperary to Chelsea." We do know from our research that Grimes was not very common in Tipperary in the early 19th century.
My wife's father and aunt also maintained they had been told they were not related to these other two Grimes families and descendants, in the area. There seem to have been too many coincidences. Were these three men brothers, cousins or friends? To make it worse, the late author of that genealogy was the spitting image of an older cousin in my wife's family - so close, it was uncanny. Of course, now that we learn more, that older generation has passed and we no have no one to question but ourselves.
I guess some of my own family is from Monahan or Clare - great-great- grandparents born there about 1820, their children born in Dumbarton, Scotland.
I'll close for now.

Hello Berlin,
Just a couple of areas where I have questions.
There are 23 Armstrongs listed on the kabristan.org website for cemeteries in Leitrim ( 12 are Dromahair records). If you were even able to let me know which ones you know or suspect are your family, that might help me to concentrate on the others.

Looking at today's maps, Dromahair and Manorhamilton appear to be about 8 miles apart, as the crow flies. Do you think there were any other CofI churches between them, in the 1800's? I am sort of trying to puzzle out for myself, if there were just the two, which one of the churches families on farms in between them might have attended. In this sense, our Adam was born in Dromahair according to family records - would folks have said "Dromahair" back then, because that is where the church was, or did it literally mean in Domahair, to the exclusion of any other settlement/village in between them? My idea here is that many of our first names in later generations seem very similar to the Manorhamilton names. I guess it depends too how many generations the Armstrongs lived there and how they might have spread within an area of 25 or 50 miles, to get land to farm. As far that goes, Killenumery (sp?) is very close-by too.
As far as the Grimes are concerned, I have searched the Irish indexes for all Thomas Grimes in every county, and none of them seem to be able to match the father/son in my wife's family. If you have any good ideas on counties where I should continue to search, may be you would be so kind as to pass them on.
The gentleman who did the other Grimes genealogies, here, spent a lot of time in Ireland looking, without any success. It was known to them that Michael Grimes was from Tipperary. My sense is that the origins are now lost in time, and not in the records that have been retrieved in recent years. Even Michael is not found in the online Irish index records.
What I saw in the indexes seems to suggest more Grimes back then in counties further east, around Dublin, or maybe that is just the records still existing which give that impression. We have a friend from Cork who said she had never heard the name in Ireland, so it may be somewhat regionalized. Some say the Grimes name comes from Graham, also a Scottish borders name.
Take care, Merry Christmas.

re this point...
the town of Manorhamilton is on the border of two civil/Church of Ireland parishes : Cloonclare and Killasnet. Dromahair is in the civil/CofI parish of Drumlease.
Parts of the parishes are adjacent but there is a parish between a section of Cloonclare and Drumlease - namely Cloonlogher.
See the maps on the Irish Times website : Civil parish - Co. Leitrim (http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/civilparish/index.cfm?fuseaction=GetMap&CityCounty=Leitrim)

Shane,
Thank you so very much. I guess you are online right now too, as I was stunned to see a reply so quickly.
That is very helpful information. Also, you have introduced me to a new website, which seems very promising for this and other research I am doing.
I try to put myself into the times and places of what/who I am looking for. No trains, roads or vehicles, just wagon/cart tracks and streams/rivers, old native American trails and so on, how far a person could walk or ride on horseback in a few hours, how far they could have gone to find a spouse, etc.
My wife and I have ancestors also from the very, very beginning of French Canada, to the Great Plains of the United States and Canada in the time of covered wagons and buffalo still running wild (as late as early 1900's), to Paris and Cumbria in the 1500's.
As a result of your information, I am going to look even harder in Leitrim, to see if there are any other avenues I should be following.
Do you still live around there?
Thank you.
-
I live in South County Dublin..
re those parishes - these are details of the surviving records available for them (start dates) :
Cloonclare - baptisms 1816, marriages 1816, death/burials 1816
Killasnet - b1877, m1846, d1863
Drumlease (Dromahare) - b1827, m1830, d1827
I dont see any listing for historic records for Cloonlogher.
Records for the Cloonclare, Drumlease and Killasnet are available in the RCB Library in Dublin.
Shane
-
Shane , thank you. Where does one find the dates for earliest records by locations, as you were able to give me above, please? I might try some more locations for still other names in my family, if I could have some hope that records available might match a date.
I looked at all the names you are researching yourself. None of them connected to us, although I knew someone named Cantwell and also Wilsons.
As you probably gathered from my posts, I live in the Ottawa area of Ontario, Canada. The Ottawa Valley and beyond is a very Irish area - one can still hear it in the accents and music, up the valley.
-
There is no single (accurate) source of the Church of Ireland parish record dates online that I know of, but there are several printed sources with details of Church of Ireland records. Usually checking for details involves first working out which civil parish covers the town or townland. I usually start with the townland database at http://www.thecore.com/seanruad, details included in Lewis Topographical directory of 1837 (http://www.libraryireland.com/topog/) can also be useful for this.
Once the parish has been determined there are several standard reference sources which contain details - e.g. Ryan's Irish Records, Grenham etc. The RCB Library also publishes a list of sources they hold - this is updated from time to time as they acquire more records. Records for some Church of Ireland parishes are held by the National Archives.
Church of Ireland Records for much of Northern Ireland are held by PRONI.
Shane
-
Those give me some more new ideas to try, although some may be too far back in Monaghan and Clare.
-
I've recently contacted a few people in Canada, US, Oz etc asking them about Google, they said they tried but it was hopeless for Irish results.
I then recommended them to go to www.google.ie and see if there was any difference.. they were amazed at the results they got!
Apparently there is a huge difference....

I co-admin FTDNA's Armstrong DNA Project. A Y-DNA test for those of you who share the same surname, plus a very close geographical connection, would have every chance of revealing if you were closely related. I had the same situation many years ago: I had an ancestor who lived in a tiny village in the 18th C, a few miles from another Armstrong. The county they lived in had very few of our surname, so the odds were that we were via the same stock.
Finally I managed to persuade a descendant of the other branch to test, and we matched at 66/67. With this info, we put more effort into finding a paper trail link, which we eventually found. Our common ancestor lived in 1701, and the Y-DNA test supported this scenario.
Cheers,
Bob

Hello North gower,
I am also related to the same Armstrong’s. Im from the south of Ottawa. I am trying to complete my family tree, I have tons of family photos, including photos of Adam Armstrong. We should chat.

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.
