Descendants of Captain Frances Armstrong and Rebecca Waldron

I think that the marriage between Francis Armstrong and Mary Robertson was registered in Boyle, Co Roscommon in 1866 Vol 14, page 37. If you get that certificate, it should tell you where they were living and give you other clues to trace the family.

You can order a photocopy of the certificate from GRO Roscommon for ?4.  http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

You have to download and print off the form. Then either post or fax it back to them. You can?t e-mail it to them. However if you want them to e-mail the cert to back to you, they will do that, so tick the relevant box.

Put the reference details on the form (anywhere). Don?t worry about leaving some boxes blank. As long as GRO have the location, name(s), year, quarter (where there is one), volume and page number they should find it.

Tradition was to marry in the bride?s church (which should be on the certificate, unless it was a Registry Office marriage). That church may be the place to look for her baptism and that of any siblings.

In addition to the info that Elwyn provided, below is the death index record for Francis Armstrong. If you want to get a copy, follow the process that Elwyn provided. A death record will show the location where the deceased lived, cause of death and the name of the informant and sometimes the relationship of the informant to the deceased.
