Hi, I have been given this but being "wet behind the ears" I don't know what to do with it.

Jane armstrong goes on to marry Tom Harrison (b 1868), my gt gt g/father

I would like to go back up the Armstrong line and in any other direction it leads if possible.

If someone could work their magic I would be very grateful.

Kind regards,

Graham.

You should check 1851 Lancs census and find Thomas aged between 1 wk and 1 year. This should give information on his parents.

In 1851 James and family were living in the Bolton Area

Hi,

you're all just too good, many thanks.

I went with the noggin28s line for Thomas Armstrong for the following reasons.

• In 1891 he had a niece Alice Lawler with him b 1881.
  
• That household in 1881 had William and C lawler b 1854 Mossley.
  
• 1861 Armstrong gang has Cathrine aged 7 b 1854.
  
• Can't find a marriage cert but it does give me more lines of inquiry.
  

Best regards,

Graham.
