William named his father as William also, so may be worth checking this family group, who were at Knockboy too:

Yes I have also just submitted the info you have helped me find for Thomas onto the lady who runs the memorial. At least there will be information on his parents and birthplace now. :)

He could have been born there but to Irish parents or perhaps Irish dad/Scottish mum. As said, might be worth looking a bit more into the Armstrong group at Knockboy in 1901. The wife seems quite a bit younger than William, the husband, and the children are young, so potentially, if your William's dad, it was a second marriage.

Oh yes that may be, I shall look. It seems Sarah Armstrong may have a passed away quite young.... I shall look into it.

Could you please tell me the best way to find Lizzie wards parents? Her father is listed as Joseph ward on her marriage cert but a line through his occupation.

Ignore my last entry. The William in that group shows as not married. The Sarah must have been wife of one of the others. Have checked original, and she looks to have been James' wife.

Still, the group as a whole may yet connect somewhere to your William.
