Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: 1
• Emigration: 1846, Markham, Ontario, Canada

Notes:

Born "near the old town of Clones, Ireland".

"William Armstrong and His Descendants", p. 1, quotes the Markdale Standard,
Sept. 1912, stating that William crossed from Liverpool to New York in 1846, a
passage taking 5 weeks. On p. 3 it is stated that his brother Mark and Mark's
wife Elizabeth accompanied him on this voyage.

The ship St. George, under master Watson Ferris, sailed from Liverpool to New
York, arriving about 2 Dec 1846 (see Sources). The passenger manifest lists
among the steerage passengers

Mark Armstrong 30 Male Farmer

Betsey Armstrong 24 Female

William Armstrong 20 Male Farmer

There is a big discrepancy here in Mark's age. He should have been 42 years
old in 1846, if his birth date was 1804. Also, he and Elizabeth are supposed
to have married in 1828; if she was 24 in 1846 she would have been only 6 in
1828.
