Time for a fresh look at my Armstrong ancestors. My GGF James Armstrong born County Mayo 1854. James was born fourth in the birth order of six children born to Anthony Armstrong and Mary Anne (Ruane) Armstrong. I believe one of the other five children to be named Charles, not sure of names of the others. (baptism of Charles noted below) In Griffith's Valuation I have found one and only one Anthony Armstrong at Aghadoey Glebe in year 1855. Aghadoey Glebe is in Parish of Burrishoole. Found record of Anthony Armstrong, of Kilmaclasser married Mary Anne Ruane, of Addergoole, in Crossmolina Church of Ireland 18, April, 1839. Charles Armstrong, son of Anthony Armstrong, a farmer and Mary Anne Armstrong was baptised on 17th April, 1842. No further birth records available for this couple after 1842. Address given at time of 1842 birth is Half parish/Clogher. I believe that the Anthony Armstrong family relocated sometime after 1842 from the Half parish/Clogher address to Aghadoey Glebe, which seems not all that far from away.  Half parish/Clogher is very close to a place called Gortnaclassagh. I have also found reference to a George Armstrong of Gortnaclassagh baptised on 5 June, 1817. Parents of George Armstrong listed as Anthony Armstrong and Mary Simmonds. (Note : I believe this Anthony Armstrong and Mary Simmonds to be the parents of the Anthony Armstrong that married Mary Anne Ruane in 1839. So, I have two Anthonys to deal with here, apparently a father and son )  MORE RELATED DATA: Marriage record exists for Anthony Armstrong of Kilmaclasser a widower and Margaret Symonds (possible Tymonds), of Kilmaclasser 26 December 1809.   There seems to be some confusion on the spelling of the name Simmonds as it relates to Mary. The records show it as Simmonds, Symonds and possibly as Tymonds. Also there is confusion around the names Mary and Margaret Symonds.  Some of the records show her as Mary and some as Margaret. All this I believe just inaccuracy of the way records were kept in those days, the legibility of those records and the spelling whims of the people who kept them. Or perhaps she was known by both the names Mary and Margaret.  There is also an Elizabeth Armstrong baptised 30 August, 1818 to parents Anthony and Margaret Armstrong. Names of witnesses for the baptisms above include: William Armstrong (possible brother to the older Anthony) Mary Simmonds Willam Burke Mary (Brennan) Kirkpatrick Ann Kirkpatrick ================= Coming to America 1860s: I cannot be sure what became of the Anthony Armstrong family that included my GGF James and his siblings. I believe them to have been caught up in the Great Famine tragedy and became part of the mass migration of Irish to Canada and the United States. It seems that after coming to the United States the siblings became separated. It is also believed that for a time they stayed in Canada but I do not know any details of this. I believe some of them married or settled in the Midwestern area around Chicago. I have note of GGF James coming to USA in 1868. He lived at Sebastapol near Pittston in Northeast Pennsylvania. This is a coal mining area. It is unclear what became of his siblings. His biography indicates that in 1878 he traveled to Chicago, IL, which I believe was to find work in and around the area where some of his siblings were living. Says he was employed in the iron works. Naturalization papers granted to James on Oct. 26th 1880 at Cook County, IL Circuit Court. James returned to Pittston, PA in December 1880 and was employed by the Pennsylvania Coal Company. Married Bridget McNulty in 1882. They had six children: Charles (1883), Mary (1886), Blanche (1889), James (my GF 1893), Joseph(1899) and John (1900) SEARHING FOR: Any Armstrongs or related surnames above tracing their roots to County Mayo. Any Armstrongs tracing thier roots to Pittston, PA and the villages of Inkerman and Sebastapol near Pittston. Any Armstrongs that came from County Mayo through Canada to the United States in mid to late 1860's that may have connections to above. Silblings of my GGF James Armstrong who may have settled in IL, IN or OH and woked in iron/steel works and or coal mining. Thank You! John T. Armstrong

I am trying to find anyone with links to the ARMSTRONG family from Chirnside, Berwickshire, Scotland and especially anyone else descended from George ARMSTRONG and Elizabeth Knox who married there in 1792. Doreen.

Been looking for some time for Armstrongs who may have been in Canada and had links to the steel business in Indiana and perhaps mining in Illinois. My Armstrong ancestors originally from County Mayo, Ireland. Some of them came to the United States via Canada. I do not know how long they stayed in Canada. I know for a time GGF James worked in the steel industry and I believe that was in Gary, Indiana and Chicago areas. Any of you Canadian Armstrongs trace your roots to County Mayo? GGF James Armstrong had siblings who are unaccounted for in my research. Perhaps some stayed in Canada and for sure some came to United States. I know James traveled to the Midwest to visit and work with his siblings. James settled later in Pittston, Pennsylvania. Looking for descendants of Anthony Armstrong of County Mayo, Ireland. Willing to share any and all information. John T. Armstrong

I have been just busier then all get out finding more family. I found one of my "Cochran" cousins married to an "Armstrong". So Now we have Lillie Mae Armstrong m Garnett H. Cochran, and my new family Barbara Cochran married to William Armstrong. I am so excited about finding them. They were able to fill in some of the missing pieces of the Garnett H. Cochran Family. I got with my Other cousins, and it looks like we may have pictures of the daughters of Wallace W. Armstrong. Lillie Mae, Celia Gertrude (Gertie) and Iva Maud (Ivy). Bill is doing well. We well see him to a Neurologist today to see how much damage the stroke did. He is just luck he wasnt hanging four feet out on the top of Mammoth Mountain on the Cornice... He actually had a very bad head ach, which I had already been watching. For a person who doesnt get one at all, makes it suspecious. That is what kept him down from 11,500/feet. He was headed up to the top, and his head was hurting worse, so he came down. With impared speach, he called his supervisor to come and get him. Contrary to his believe, hehehe He passed out, and when they found him he was setting with his head propped on the steering wheel, at 9.000/ft. For those who dont know he has worked as Heavy Equipment at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for 32/yrs. I believe it is now time to say "NO" to the mountain when they call for him. He loves his job, but it is not possible any longer. Love to all Nan Curtis
