Joseph Armstrong of Clifton married Jane Atkinson [ bapt 18
15 in Castle Carrock } in 1845 at Castle Carrock. I can find no further record for them and wonder if they emmigrated.   Batman

Jane's brother John came to Ontario, Canada, married, 9 children, 44 grandchildren.  He was my great great grandfather.    Another sister, Margaret, married Philip Davidson and stayed in Castle Carrock, but I would like to find Jane and her husband too.   There's another sister Ann and I know nothing about her.    I am working on the tree at

And...your Jane Atkinson's uncle Richard Atkinson married Ann Armstrong.   Their son, also named John, first cousin to my John, also came to Ontario and left many descendants. 

My GGGGM, Margaret Atkinson, married Philip Davidson 10 Nov 1844 in Castle Carrock.  She had been born there about 1825.  I believe her father was Christopher Atkinson.

Margaret and Philip lived in C.C. for many decades, raised their family there.  Philip taught there and was a schoolmaster, postmaster, farmer, and, after he left teaching, an assistant steward.

I would like to learn more about Margaret's parents; I don't know her mother's name.  Margaret's daughters were Elizabeth, Margaret, and Mary, so I'm guessing it could have been one of those names.  I would also like to verify her birth date and learn her date and place of death.  Thanks, RedFox

My great great grandfather John Atkinson was Margaret's brother.  John came to Ontario, married and had 11 children and 44 grandchildren.

Margaret and John's parents were Christopher Atkinson and Elizabeth Dixon.  You can see my work at this link:   https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Atkinson-Descendants-5943     Your ggggm Margaret Atkinson Davidson is on the tree.   I found her 2xgreat grandfather William in his father-in-law's will.  Her 3x great grandparents marriage certificate is also online now.
