William Watson Armstrong was my paternal grandfather,  His first wife died and left one son Wesley?James who lived with different relatives most of his life because my grandfather's work took him round Ireland.  He remarried in 1933 - to Ellen Eva Davies in Antrim at the Gasworks where her father worked.  There was a big age gap between them as he was born in 191 and she in 1902 in Co Cavan.  I have only got handwritten details of their marriage.  They had 1 son, my dad William Edwin in 1934.

My grandfather (Watty) also went to work in Leeds with the SWCS and was an ARP during the war. 

Thanks for you help - I am trying to compile a booklet for my father's birthday on 8 June so everything is gratefully accepted.

PS:  My son is taking me to see the Cliffs of Moher in the summer.

Hi

I got the information from Scotlands People about the 2 older brothers born in Scotland.

On a diffferent note searching records in GRONI I also found details of 2 older sisters of my grandmother.  They died aged 10wks and almost 2yrs.  That solved the mystery of the number of children born on the 1911 census although looking at the actual form the number has been overwritten so could be 8 or 9.

Thanks
Looflow

Hello KG

In relation to Sarah Elizabeth Armstrong who married Walter Leonard, I think they also had another daughter Ernestine born in Wales?

Checked out FreeBMD https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl but can't find a birth for this Ernestine Leonard between 1913 and 1930.   

Do you have a year date?
