Is this the same family?
Postby Katykat » Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:14 am

I have Samuel ( or Samual) Armstrong b 1799 ish in Runcorn. All his children were christened at All Saints church. I cant find any record of his birth. I have found John Armstrong b 1791 to Samuel and Martha, plus other siblings, all christened at All Saints. I'm trying to link John to Samuel. Is he a brother? Does this mean that Samuels parents are Samuel Snr & Martha ? The names Samuel and Martha have travelled down the generations of our family so there could be a tentaive link there.

So which church is it Runcorn? Are you after a baptism?

For a look up more info needed

Please put in title church and area you need and full info i.e. Baptism at such and such year such and such and name
If someone has time to go they then have info for other counties section


This is more a general discussion question so moving there

You need to get witnesses at samuels marriage see if any sibs

Ok Thanks Northern lass. The church in Runcorn is All Saints. All Samuels children were christened there between 1821-1843. I dont have a birth record for Samuel but he states on census records that he was born in Runcorn in 1799 ( ish) His wife was Ann Clark, married at St Elphins, Warrington in 1820 ( Ann was living in Warrington. ) I have found John Armstrong ( plus several siblings) born to Samuel and Martha Armstrong and christened at All Saints church Runcorn from 1791.
A baptism for Samuel ( 1799) might tell me his parents. Were they Samuel snr & Martha? Was John his brother?

I don,t hold out much hope of a look up at other counties section.
You might be better contacting relevant archives and seeing if they will do it
There is most likely a charge.
Have a look on free reg see if on there
You will only get mother and father no address or occupation until I think 1811 or is it1813.

Also have a look on the Latter Day Saints website Igi
Might be on there

I have amended heading will move to other counties if no one can find it on those 2 sites

All the info you have is on LDS site? Copies of the originals at All Saints Runcorn 1538-1911 can be looked at and worked through on FMP site (Cheshire Baptisms ) it may have been missed by transcribers? Regards RF

Thanks
