Blanche ARMSTRONG
(1890-1893)
(1890-1893)
Little Blanche Armstrong was the daughter of Alice Armstrong née Coulson...a daughter of Thomas and Jane Coulson, Memorial number 4. Notice that the baby of the Coulson family was Eliza Blanche. Joseph Armstrong was at the time a draper but if they lived in Hook/Goole for any length of time, they soon returned to Leeds, where Joseph was a commercial traveller (drapery) for many years. Joseph and Alice are in Harehills Cemetery, living to a ripe old age and mutually devoted. I like them because they gave their children romantic Victorian names, very refreshing! (J.I.)
