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.

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

Hi Barbara,

Yes, register with Scotlands people............I think it is a great site!

Hello there Moody Blue - gosh you have been working hard!! The name Jeannie had definitely come down through the family.
Thanks so much for all the added info on the Armstrong family. I will need a couple of days to go through everything and see where it all fits in. No time at mo - have work to do.......what a pity!!
Thanks so much for your interest - it is truely wonderful.

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?

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.
