William Armstrong, Margaret ? Sligo, Ireland

LeitrimMohill (Leitrim)

William (1819 – 1866)  and  Margaret ( Doris or Sully) Armstrong (1825 – 1887) are my gggrandparents who lived in Sligo until moving to Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England to work  in the Woolen Mills.  Born in Sligo were daughters:  Elizabeth H. (1840 -1901)  and Anna Armstrong (1843 - 1923) .  The family left Sligo before  20 Feb 1845 when a son Patrick (1845-1891) was born in Dewsbury.  William and Margaret had other children born in Dewsbury:  Frances "Fanny" (my ggrandmother), Catherine, William, Mary, and  Margaret.    Elizabeth, Anna, and Fanny came to the United States--the others remained in Dewsbury.

I am looking for information on the parents:  William and Margaret--their parents, siblings, etc.  Also, I am not sure of Margaret's maiden name as I have found Sally, Sully, Solly, Doris, and Reynolds on various records.  I do not know the parish to which they belonged.  I assume they worked in the Woolen Mills in Sligo.

You may try posting your information on the County Sligo page of the site.

 

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
