Hello there rootgatherer - thank for your contribution and interest. Yes, I am sure it is the same Andrew Little. Am still putting it all down on paper so that I can see who is who!! There seems to be a large Little family in the same area. Initially Thomas Armstrong married a Little.

Just in case you have missed, Could the neighbour, Andrew Little, who registered Alexander Armstrong's death in 1879 be the same Andrew Little on the 1881 census with Jane Armstrong, Francis Armstrong, James Little and Ellen Paterson?

Jackie - thanks for getting back to me re Andrew - yet another son - at least that is confirmed now.
Thank you.

Welcome back Moody Blue and thanks so much for your contribution. I am so thrilled as I picked up in the Will and Testament Seach return for Francis Armstrong that his one address was 9 Mostyn Road, North Bow, London - this was the address of his niece, Jane Carter (nee Armstrong). Please point me in the right direction - am still a bit green - how do I go about getting a Will. On second thoughts, with the Armstrongs being Scots, I should probably register with Scotlands People.
Really appreciate your help.

Hi Barbara

Andrews birth is definately on IGI as being their son I just checked but cannot find it on SP but registration was not compulsory until 1855

Barbara Report 12 May 2010 18:10

Thanks again - I see that in Helen's IGI list there is an Andrew Armstrong born 1833 - also Middlebie - maybe a relation - there seems to be quite a gap what do you think.
