Family History Beginners Board / Armstrong/Buck - Cockfield, Durham
« on: Friday 10 August 18 23:21 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm trying to research my family tree but have got stuck on some bits as i don't have any relatives to ask for more info. I'm looking for any Bucks or Armstrongs that were born in the Cockfield/Darlington area of Durham from 1900's onwards. I have some but not all.
My great, great, great grandmother was Vashti Armstrong who married a Robert Buck. Together they had 12 children;
Agnes 1899-1960
Mary Elizabeth 1901-1970
William 1903-1959
Vashti 1906-1961
Eva 1907-1929
Norah 1909-1986
Annie 1911-2005
Alice 1913-1967
John Jack 1915-1994
Hilda 1918-1991
Robert 1921-2001
Olga 1923-1945
Dates may be give or take a few years but i'm pretty sure they're accurate. I'm looking for any descendants of theirs :-)
Thanks!

Thanks so much for those places to look, will have a look at them tonight and see what I can find.
Avm228, where did you find that information?! I've been searching everywhere for a Johnny Morris!

I am unsure if he would still be alive today as he'd be in his 80's. But I can't find any death records on ancestry.com after 2005. Is there anywhere else I could look for more up to date death records?
She did, however once Aubrey went into the home, the family visited him a few times and that was it. Sheila's children were brought up believe that their aunt was their grandmother and didn't know anything about her brother until my grandmother passed away late last year. So unfortunately, have no information for me.

Family History Beginners Board / Brick Wall! Armstrong/Buck/Morris

Hi All,
I've recently started doing my family tree. I've managed to get as far back as the 1700's at the moment. I still need to double check the records I have and stuff.
Anyway, I have hit a brick wall whilst searching for one of my relatives.
His name is Aubrey Morris and he was born in 1942. He had a sister named Sheila who was born in 1945 and died in 2010. Their mother was Olga Buck (1923-1945). I believe their father was a John (Johnny) Morris, unsure of any details to do with him. Olga's mother was Vashti Armstrong and father Robert Buck.
Aubrey and his sister went to live with their grandmother Vashti as their mother died when they were young. Sheila went to live with an aunt and Aubrey stayed with his grandmother and cousin (Anis Buck). Aubrey has cerebal palsy and we believe a form of autism. Eventually, he became too much for Vashti and they put him into a home. I am unsure what home this could have been. This would have been around the 1950's as I have a picture of Vashti and Aubrey and he's around 10-12 years of age. I know he was still alive in 1994 and i believe still in a home. Is there anyway I can find out more about him? Or does anyone have any information that could help me?
Thanks
