Thanks very much for the help- it's fantastic. I think that maybe the Harelawhill one is him- the childrens names match up. He died at the ripe old age of 95, and no one was probably alive who new details of his parents/birth to put on his certificate!
Thanks again

Thanks again!

I have some information from another family member that said that Thomas Armstrong was born in a place called Harelawhagg- but I don't know if it's right. The year I have is 1791, so it's probably the one you found.
Back to Christopher- sadly his death certificate is not legible- he died in 1908 in Victoria.

There is an old family story that this family was related to the GRahams of Nethrby- but I can't find any reference to it in reality!

Thanks for the ehlp- any more you can find would be appreciated.

Hi everyone- that's for the reply. Christopher Dixon married Jane Armsrtong in1838 in  Westerkirk. (?) Her parets were Thomas Armstrong and Mary Little.
They all emigratd to Austrlalia, but the writing on the certificates is not clear re his parents. More info coming,
thanks again!
