Find Ancestors

sorry for confusing you all. I have been looking for alot of years to find details of the armstrongs of edenderry street weir steet to get further back but stuck at the father James armstrong 1862 or1857 ballymena to april 20 1938 belfast

It was edwards half brother James born abt 1881 mum who was from glasgow Elizabeth and ive looked through all marriages for James and An Elizabeth in irishgeneolgy but cant find a record that matches their son james birth in ligoneil belfast around the time so i can find her surname. Edward shows in paper notice for his brother john but not dad in 1938.

yes this is his mum and other half sisters clara and elizabeth. I just cannot get any further back from Edwards dad on his death cert he is 76 but on the burial records shows he was 81. difference in age 5 years.

Name EDWARD ARMSTRONG
Date of Birth 06 April 1904
Group Registration ID 4744650
SR District/Reg Area Belfast
Sex N/R
Mother's Birth Surname ADDIS

From original - born at 48 Weir Street

Edwards half brother James mum died. Then Edward mary john and sarah was born to Sarah Barnes. I found in telegraph that brother john died in 26 October 1932, brother james died 16 April 1922 and father James died 20.4.1938. I am trying to trace Edward family to see if I can find anything of Edward which my show his father details birth day to help my research in familytree
