And Roy had a brother Roy in USA? I think we need to start a posting just on Roy, his parents and his siblings

His half bother  is Roy Armstrong  son of  John Armstrong and Mary Lacourt of  Wisconsin

I  believe he's in a lumber camp  with his Uncle Fredrick Muir . That's where John Thomas Armstrong worked.  His love letters said John worked with his bother in law Fredrick. When John left might have left dad in care of  Fredrick and on his in listment papers list Fredrick Muir as next of kin I have no proof of this but that letter

5425 William and Margaret A* are the parents of JOHN THOMAS A* who married Hannah MUIR (who was called Ida) in about 1895 or 96. The Armstrongs and the Muirs lived in Minesing, Ontario. The family story was that John and Hannah (Ida) were not married; the guess is that they were not married when she became pregnant with their son, ROY who was born March 29, 1895 but married just before or just after his birth. John was killed in a lumbering accident at Frank's Bay when Roy was a baby. John was working for the Smith lumbering company at the time of his death. Roy married Clara Lillian HARVEY in about 1922. It is thought that William and Margaret did come to Ontario from Ireland, but it is not known from when or where they came. Does anyone have any info on William and Margaret?

I guess this shows why family stories need to be taken with a grain of salt

If he ever did work there here is a bit of hitory on the mine http://www.pastforward.ca/perspectives/Jan_52001.htm

It sure goes to show how much false info is online - that was only reason I posted that posting I found online. And people just copy it for truth sometimes.

Was GF Muir not who Roy was with in 1901 census (Hannah's brother or Roy's uncle). I know he was with the Muir family.

As for William all we know is born Cty of Sligo Ireland about 1881, father Richard Armstrong and Mother Margaret Mccleary
