Armstrong from Crosscanonby

[vicarmstrong]

Hello, I've just started researching my family tree. Details so far are:

My grandfather was: Lonsdale Armstrong, 1884-1958, Harrington, Workington

Great grandfather: Jonathan Armstrong, 1834-1907, Camerton

Great great grandfather: John Armstrong, 1803-1854, Camerton

Great great great grandfather: Andrew Armstrong, 1773-1829, Bridekirk

If anyone is researching the same tree or willing to help me go back further, I would be VERY grateful!

Many thanks,

Vic

There are seven trees on Ancestry.com with Lonsdale Armstrong but I think you will need a subscription to see them.

Also one on http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com which is free but not very extensive.

Two people on http://www.GenesReunited.co.uk have his name listed. This will also need a subscription but is fairly cheap.

Hi

Ancestry have a new site now Mundia. You can register for free and it seems that you can view all the Ancestry trees from this new site. Your grandfather Lonsdale is on a number of trees as previously stated.

On 16th. Feb. 1805 a William Armstrong, hairdresser of Maryport was the guarantor of the licence to marry of Thomas Baylis, mariner of Maryport and Margaret Wright of Bowscales in parish of Bromfield.

I do not know if Wm. A was related to bride or groom or how he came to be involved.

I think the marriage was by licence because being a mariner Thomas was not at home long.

Margaret was born about 1788 but I do not have a certain date for Thomas.

Does William A. ring any bells with your family. Thanks, Humphpaul

Hi Vic and welcome

I note you have his death as 1829, a popular BI has this:
24 Mar 1829 Andrew Armstrong aged 56, Raughton Head, All saints, bur.
That would indeed give a birth date of c1773. The Anc. trees mentioned have varying birth dates from 1763, though they are not validated.

I can't find his bap. in the Dalston or Bridekirk PR's, but his marriage is in the Dalston PR's:
4 April 1801 Andrew Armstrong, Cross Canonby & Isabella Sanderson, banns, mar. Isabella's bap not in PR's either.

There are 5 Isabella Sanderson baptisms between 1760 - 1785 on the IGI (CC) that maybe worth looking at: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi
