Armstrong family Belfast

[Kk7]

Hi

Am currently researching 2 sides of family. However this one I have hit a wall. My grandfather was born in Malone place on the Lisburn road in 1914. "Gordon getty armstrong"
 His mother was named Margaret Armstrong. He was illegitimate hence the location of birth.
I have no other knowledge than they lived in 50 my ladys road Belfast (where my mum grew up-although she was born in cork).
I cannot find who Margarets parents are. Or her siblings, I was told there were 8 children. Gordon I'm assuming was given Getty as a nod to the unknown father. Apparently he was placed in a home and taken out and raised by his grandmother.
His mother Margaret and I think some sibling soon after emigrated to Canada. That's where all my research on this side ends.

Any help appreciated!

Looks like Gordon was buried with these folk at Dundonald Cemetery:

Regarding Elizabeth Armstrong in the above grave, who died on 29 June 1957, a death notice in the Belfast Telegraph of that date described her as 'wife of the late William Armstrong, 50 My Lady's Road, Belfast'.

In Memoriam notice shows William Armstrong died 26th November 1930. Wife Elizabeth also remembering her son, Tom, died September 1930 and interred Paradise Valley, USA and Robbie died 23rd Feb (year hard to make out).

Death notice has that William was to be buried in family burying ground at  First Broughshane.

The Northern Whig of 27 November 1930 had a death notice for William Armstrong of 50 My Lady's Road who died the previous day, he was described as the 'husband of Elizabeth Armstrong' and burial was in 'the Family Burying-ground, First Broughshane'.

Snap, gaffy, was just editing my post to say same, didn't get usual message saying someone else had just posted  .

I'll pull out for a while, there's something I need to do anyway, but I wondered about this in light of the Broughshane connection..?

Would certainly fit with the Tom and Robbie deaths I posted earlier too, and Stone Mason could at times, I suppose, be considered a builder.

And Maggie nearby http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Broughshane/Knockboy/119456/ ?

and possibly her sister, Mary?

Possible for 1901 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Glenravel/Rathkenny/928524/, which also has a daughter, Maggie, albeit the William, head, although born Scotland, is noted as a farmer.
