Mary Armstrong

1721 -

• Name	Mary Armstrong
  	There are a number of Baptisms for Mary Armstrong in the locality, of the correct timeframe for a marriage in 1738. They are: Mary dau of John Armstrong bap 14 Apr 1712 in Bellingham Mary dau of William Armstrong bap 29 Apr 1714 in Haltwhistle Mary dau of Matthew Armstrong bap 13 Jan 1714 ditto Mary dau of William Armstrong bap 13 Mar 1715 in Allendale Mary dau of James Armstrong bap 2 Jul 1716 in ditto Mary dau of John Armstrong bap 25 Aug 1717 in Warden, Hexham Mary dau of John Armstrong bap Mar 1721 in St. John Lee, Hexham. In the baptism register for her son John, Mary's husband John, is described as a Protestant. At the baptism of son Robert, he is described as a Heretic, perhaps meaning that whilst he is having his children baptised in the Catholic church, he, himself has not yet been baptised into the Catholic faith. Catholics at the time probably viewed the Protestant church as a heretical faith. Since he is having his children baptised Catholic but he, himself is not a Catholic, it must mean that his wife, Mary Armstrong is Roman Catholic. The baptism record in St. John Lee above, is in Latin, signifying a Roman Catholic baptism and it would therefore appear to be the most likely one for Mary.
