Still needing help re Mary Armstrong
« on: Tuesday 15 March 11 20:11 GMT (UK) »
I've hit another brick wall and wonder if anyone could please help.
My great great Aunt Mary Armstrong was born 1868/69 Greencroft Colliery, Annfield Plain, Durham. On the 1871 census place of birth is given as Ox Hill and on the 1881 as Annfield Plain.
I have not been able to find Mary after the 1881 census or a marriage for her.
I know she was alive and married in 1911 as her mother mistakenly put the names of all her children on her own census record stating that Mary was married.

I would also like to find the marriage of Marys brother William who was born 1879 Newcastle upon Tyne. He was not married in 1911.

Mary's parents were William and Sarah Armstrong. From the 1911 census I can see they had 11 children but 7 died young and I would also be interested in the births and deaths of their deceased children.

Hi. Yes I have her parents and siblings up until 1911.

In 1891 & 1901 her parents and brothers are in Benwell and in 1911 they live in Scotswood, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Her sister Jane married John James Kelly and her brother John married Margaret Hodgson.  :)

Have you checked all the marriages on BMD?  In Newcastle there are 8 marriages for a Mary Armstrong between 1881 and 1891.

So who were the siblings in the later census
Have you looked at Familysearch for bp.’s?
Is her mother an Emmerson or even did one of her aunts marry an Emerson ?

I have checked marriages but have no way of knowing if it is the correct Mary unless I visit the Archives which I am unable to do.

Her siblings are listed above, Jane, John and William. I have searched family search for the deceased children without success.
Mary herself had 8 children by 1911, 4 of which were still living.

I cannot find an aunty Margaret or Jessie nor a Emmerson in the family.
