I thought I would post a note since there seems to be a fair number of messages about Armstrongs in various counties.
I had a great great Aunt named Margaret Simons (of Kildrumsherdan parish, Co Cavan) who married Robert Armstrong. The Armstrong family rented lands from a Lord Cremorne in the townlands of Drumgarkin (Drumgasckin) and Drumanny, Ematris parish, Co Monaghan in the early 1800s.
I have a bit of information about the Armstrong family, and where Margaret and Robert's ancestors are now in case anyone is interested.

All the best,

Dear Emma, Interested to see your board. My grandmother was from Tattincake beside Drum. Her cousin ? Robert [1876-1973 ] was a national school teacher living in Drumgarkin in the census of 1911.Trying to find where this family originated. Best wishes
