Armstrong Family

[Oletta]

Hello

Can anyone help finding this family, please??  Mary Armstrong  born or baptised 1 February 1788 in Skelton, Penrith, Cumberland.  Her occupation was as a Grocer.  We don't know if she married or where she died?? Was she a only child??

But Mary had a Daughter called Elizabeth Armstrong again born or baptised 16 January 1813 in Unthank,  Cumberland.  All that we know is she had two sons Thomas Armstrong and William Armstrong.  Thomas was baptised 21 June 1841 in Castle Sowerby, Cumberland and his occupation was as a Grocer too in Uldale, near Calbeck, Cumberland.  William was baptised 24 April 1843.

This all we know about this Family, Can anyone help, Please.  It would be great to find if they married, died and if the two boys had their own families?

Regards
Oletta

Hello trish 1120

Thank you trish 1120 for the information.  I did wonder about this one for Mary Armstrong died 3 September 1842 aged 54 in Castle Sowerby, Raughton Head, Cumberland, just because of the Grandson's been born in Castle Sowerby, What do you think or does Castle Sowerby come under Wigton at that time?? I still have to find Elizabeth (Mother) and William (Son), it seems strange that Thomas is living with his Grandmother, so I wonder if Thomas and William had the same Mother but not the same Father???
