G'day everyone, My ancestor Hugh Armstrong was born in 1806 in Galloon, County Fermanagh. He married Jane Nichols of Clones in 1832 and had three children before his death in 1843. His youngest child, my Great Great Grandfather was born in 1843 and baptised at Clogh in the parish of Clones, as were his elder siblings, Robert (1833) and Mary Ann (1841). (Clones straddles the Fermanagh-Monaghan border). The next sighting of the family after Hugh's death in 1843, is in Liverpool where his widow, Jane, and two of her children, Mary Ann and Thomas, are living at the time of the 1861 census. I have recently found a Robert Armstrong, born in "Ireland" ca. 1834 also living in Liverpool in the 1861 census. This Robert's marriage certificate gives his father as Hugh, occupation Farmer. Robert is sighted again in 1871 and apppears to have died in 1874. "My" Robert's father Hugh, was a soldier who was discharged to pension because of tuberculosis and didn't live long after his discharge. I have no record of Hugh being a farmer as such. My problem is that while I think the Robert in Liverpool is probably the brother of my Great Great Grandfather, Thomas, I currently don't have enough evidence to say "Yes! It's him!" Does anyone have any knowledge of a Robert Armstrong born ca. 1834 in Ireland and later living in Liverpool which may provide further clarification of this question?
