Carol,

I have no connection to the family. A friend of mine asked me if I could find out about her family and she said her grandfather was a William Armstrong from the IOM and was married to a Florence Kneale.

Family folklore has it that William was originally a soldier and served in the Boer War. A suggestion was that he was originally from Ireland but I cannot find any evidence to support this claim.

I will continue to search and see if anything comes up.

Many thanks for your help.
