Neither of the trees on Ancestry has a source for Mary Elizabeth's birth, although one of them has an exact DOB (7 April 1855). Also, neither of them has her parents. No birth is coming up on scotlandspeople for her. There are two for a Mary Armstrong in Glasgow in 1855 but not in Bridgton. |

There is a tree on Ancestry.co.uk with Mary Elizabeth Armstrong born 1855 in Bridgeton and she will be on 1861 census as born in Scotland. |

Mary - thank you so so much. I had both those census returns. . where did you find the info regarding Robert and Jane having a daughter Mary E in 1855 ? And we still do not positively know the surname of Jane that Robert married. What has made this even more difficult for me is that there are 2 separate Armstrong families on this side of the tree and both use Jane and Mary amongst their childrens names - it doesn't help !! |

Possible for Jane in 1841 - allowing for accents!!: |

Gosh Potty, that could well be it ! I wonder whether Jane's family did all move from Glasgow to Cumberland - food for thought. I will have a quick check and see if I can see Jane Duncan living near Robert in 1841. Thanks again. |

Thank you Potty. I had given up hope of finding where she came from. |

Have you looked at the 1891 census for Robert and Jane - gives a bit more detail about her POB: |

Reggie - I think I must pack up for the day - I can't even think straight anymore - Robert Armstrong (not Laing) married JANE not Margaret. Sorry to have made such a hash of this. |

Mark - it could well be the correct marriage but as she failed to give even an area on census returns, I really don't know. I am noting it in case it is the right one. For future generations Imust remember to be precise when I fill in my own census returns !! |

Thank you Helen - I think my eyes must be tired as I completely missed that one. Very grateful. |

Sorry Mark - it is Armstrong, the other was a typing error as I had been previously dealing with the Laing name. |

Daughter Jane Armstrongs birth cert will give you MMN then look for the marriage, that will give you fathers details and possibly her age, then you can start looking for her with her parents |
