I have been looking for my husbands dad , Lloyd Burpee Armstrong. I am obviously rubbish at this type of thing. But for many yrs i have found nothing. Lloyd had a child with Winifred may Cranford. Any help would soooo be welcome. Thanks in advance ;-) :-(

Not sure about Moody Blue's passenger list - earlier I'd looked for a WW2 death (before other's were suggested) and came across

ARMSTRONG, LLOYD BENNETT

Rank: Pilot Officer
Service No: J/44998
Date of Death: 28/10/1944
Age: 20
Regiment/Service: Royal Canadian Air Force
Grave Reference Naval and Mil. Plot. Sec. 1. Grave 458.
Cemetery TORONTO (PROSPECT) CEMETERY

Additional Information:
Son of John B. Armstrong and Elizabeth Armstrong, of Toronto. <<<<<<

Of course, it could just be a coincidence, but if Lloyd B Armstrong married 1946, he couldn't have died in 1944

with reference to the 1946 marriage, I believe that there were 2 children born to this couple and have sent details to Sumaya via pm.

Also details from 2012 Electoral Roll

Just another possibility...........................................

DetEcTive, I agree that the marriage between JohnB Armstrong and Elizabeth Cowan and Son Lloyd B Armstrong is highly unlikely to be connected to Lloyd Burpee Armstrong in view of your information re his death in 1944. :-)

Sumaya has said that her husband's father Lloyd was a face worker at the coal mines.


This could be your Lloyd, Age, occupation, intending to reside in Canada and leaving the following year after a son was born in 1953.

Sumaya

You really need to get that marriage certificate in 1946 so that we may have details of his father, his fathers occupation and also his own occupation and age and confirmation of mothers details..


You can order them online and I believe that standard delivery is £9.95 per cert.

Would appear to be that Lloyd Burpee Armstrong returned to Canada and married a Winnifred Carter at some point

It is highly likely that Lloyd Burpee Armstrong returned to Canada as any references on the internet state that he was born in Nova Scotia Canada.

Perhaps if you started your heading of this thread with something like "Canadian Help needed" you may attract the interest of the many Canadian members on Genes. Well, its worth a try, anyway!! :-)

i not really sure about the canada part as far as i know he was a born n bred surrey (ish) boy.
Sounds a bit strange how he also married another winifred too, xx
