I am trying to trace back from my 2 x Gt. Grandfather George ARMSTRONG, a blacksmith of Lane Head, Hutton Magna, NRY. George was born c1793 and I believe he was the son of Henry ARMSTRONG, blacksmith of Lane Head, and Elizabeth DOBISON. However, although the Hutton Magna parish records list baptisms of six children to Henry and Elizabeth, George is not among them. The six are Mary (1790), Elizabeth (1791), Sarah (1795), Ann (1797), Mark (1800) and Phebe (1803). It seems unlikely that Henry and George (who married Ann PLACE) would share the same surname and trade in a tiny hamlet such as Lane Head without being related. George was still in Lane Head in 1839 when my great grandfather, also George ARMSTRONG, was born. I am also trying without success to trace the siblings of George Junior who were Jane (1832), Elizabeth (1834), Henry (1835), Mary (1837) and Sarah (1840). I am likewise seeking descendants of the children of George Junior who died in Barningham, DUR, in 1914 and previously lived in Eppleby, NRY and Barnard Castle, DUR. The children, apart from my grandfather Albert Edward (1872) were Elizabeth (1875), Ann (1875), Sarah 1877 George Henry (1879) and Mary (1882).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He was likely to have been born in Spennymoor, DUR, as this is where the rest of his family were born and lived at that time. He had
3 sisters, Jean, Margaret and Gwen and one brother Raymond and his father was also Frederick. If anyone can help I would be very very grateful. (Updated March 2006)
