I am looking for William Armstrong
born about 1861 in Penn and died about 1881 or 1882.

The wife of William Armstrong was Ida Dighton .
She was born Sept 1861.

She is the daughter of
Delona Montgomery Dighton Jr. (b. 1837 - d. 1898)
and his second wife
Elizabeth Melissa (Unknown) (b. 1840 - d. 1913)

Ida Dighton married William Armstrong about 1879.
They are both listed in the 1880 census living with her parents.
Their only child John Delona Armstrong was born Dec 25, 1880 in Erie, PA.

I know that William Armstrong was born in Pennsylvania.
And that his parents are from England.

I know that William Armstrong died very shortly after the 1880 census.

In Erie city directories for 1881 and 1882, Ida is listed as Mrs. Armstrong (wid of William)
and she is living with her parents.

I know from the 1900 census that she had been married to the second husband for 17 years.
Which puts the second marriage at about 1883.

I would like to find William’s date of birth and place of birth
date of death and place of death and place of burial.
I would also like to know his parents names, and brother or sisters.
