G’day everyone My 4x great grandparents Robert Armstrong and Rose Vance had three children, Hugh (1806-1843), Margaret (1811) and Anne (1813) baptised in the parish of Galloon while living on the townland of Moorlough. After a stint in the army, Hugh married Jane Nicol (1812- ), daughter of Robert Nicol (died 1849) and Sarah Lloyd in Clones in 1832, where they in turn had three children, Robert (1833), Mary Ann (1841) and my great great grandfather, Thomas (1843-1887). After Hugh’s death from TB in 1843, his widow Jane, along with Mary Ann and Thomas are next sighted in Liverpool in 1861. This bare outline is ALL I know of my Armstrongs in Ireland, as through divorce, early death, etc, four generations in a row (perhaps five) on my paternal line haven’t known their grandfathers and thus there has been incredibly little oral history that has come down about the Armstrongs. Indeed, the only piece of oral history that I’ve acquired about my great grandfather John Edward Armstrong (1863-1908), which was given to me by a second cousin whom I’d tracked down shortly before her death, was that he was a “Liverpool Irishman who walked out on his wife leaving her to bring up five children”. The reality of the “walking out” was his early death from cancer and there were in fact six children, one of whom had died young.
