Haltwhistle

[Armstrong 1950]

Just asking if anybody has any info on a Armstrong moving from Haltwhistle area to Grassington Yorkshire area in the 1700s maybe something to do with mining or farming I know it is a long shot, his first name could have been Edward but not sure. thank you

Welcome to Rootschat

Quite a distance between the two places 103, 113 or 124 miles by car depending on route.

When in the 1700s do you think this occurred, early, middle or late?

[Armstrong 1950]

Think about 1740s. He got married at Linton church near Grassington in 1749

I wonder if the Armstrong family of Halfwhistle went over to Ireland to fight with the British troops ?
Thomas was born in 1712 in Halfwhistle - before William was born in 1724 in Ireland
