Armagh / Andrew & James ARMSTRONG
« on: Wednesday 25 May 22 15:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello I am trying to find out about my Armstrong relatives who were in Armagh in the 1800s.  My great-great-great grandfather Andrew Armstrong is listed as a shepherd on his son James' marriage details.  My 88yr old father says the Armstrongs were sheep stealers from Langholm (border rievers) but I do not know if they were the first generation to come over to NI.  I have no address for him and on searching in Griffiths Valuations I found several Andrew Armstrongs but do not know which is the correct one.  Is it possible to find out the name of his wife and any children other than James.  James married Elizabeth Emma Crozier on 1 Jan 1879 in the United Presbyterian Church, Portadown.  I do not know his date of birth it just says 21 which could be older.   They lived in Charles St and had their first 2 children born in Lurgan and later moved to Belfast.  Her father Robert was a weaver.

Orkney / James Charlton Armstrong
« on: Monday 16 May 22 17:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello first time user so here goes.
Looking for information about a relative James Charlton Armstrong from Northern Ireland who worked as a painter in the 1940s in Orkney but his family lived in Belfast.  Don't know why he went there but it could have been to do with WW2.  He died early in Jan 1942 in the district of Walls, Orkney but we have no death certificate with details.  Are there any newspaper articles I could access or directories I could try to find out where he lived.
Any help much appreciated.
