Antrim / Armstrong family Belfast
« on: Wednesday 24 February 21 00:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Am currently researching 2 sides of family. However this one I have hit a wall. My grandfather was born in Malone place on the Lisburn road in 1914. "Gordon getty armstrong"
His mother was named Margaret Armstrong. He was illegitimate hence the location of birth.
I have no other knowledge than they lived in 50 my ladys road Belfast (where my mum grew up-although she was born in cork).
I cannot find who Margarets parents are. Or her siblings, I was told there were 8 children. Gordon I'm assuming was given Getty as a nod to the unknown father. Apparently he was placed in a home and taken out and raised by his grandmother.
His mother Margaret and I think some sibling soon after emigrated to Canada. That's where all my research on this side ends.
Any help appreciated!
