Occupation 'Engine Driver' & lived in Quarry Fields, Gateshead (1861). John & Mary had (as far as I know), 6 sons; Frederick (Jun 1855), John (abt 1842), Joseph (abt 1858), Robert (abt 1853), Thomas (abt 1850) and William (abt 1847) - all of which were born in Gateshead, Durham. From John & Mary's marriage certificate I know his farther was called Thomas Armstrong and was a collier (1840).
