Maggie/ Madge/ Margaret Armstrong - Chirnside missing person
« on: Saturday 15 February 25 18:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for Maggie Armstrong Born 28 Oct 1911 Chirnside. The parents are Adam Afflect Armstrong and Agnes Craig. She was the youngest child. sister Mary Craig and brother Samuel Armstrong.

I have been unable to find any death certificate

The only information I have is her birth certificate and the 1921 census.

https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000470/19540119/024/0002?browse=False

On the British newspaper archives, I came across an article from her sister published in  Berwickshire News and General Advertiser - Tuesday 19 January 1954

The following appears in "The News of the World" in the missing column: Armstrong, Margaret (Madge), Last heard of 1937 when she left Glasgow for Newcastle-on-Tyne. Inquirer, Sister Mrs Mary Steel, 104 Prior Road, Tweedmouth, Berwick-on-Tweed

I keep looking but still cannot find anything else about this. I also can't find the original article.

Has anyone heard about this? or would anyone know what else I could do?

I have been told that the British Library have the archive of the News of the World and I will go down there when I can narrow down the date it was published.

Thank you for your time

That death you found has got to be hers - too coincidental given the info in the newspaper
