Biography
Sarah was born around 1823 in County Germanagh. She was the daughter of William Armstrong and Mary Beatty. She passed away in 1896.
Sarah married Leonard Gillespie on 18 October 1843 in Ballinamallard, County Fermanagh. This information is from an unsourced tree but is broadly plausible as her sister Harriet had children in the village of Kilskeery, just three miles away.
Ballinamallard is in the Anglican parish of Magheracross and it's records do not appear to be online.
Warwick Examiner and Times (Qld. : 1867 - 1919), Wednesday 26 February 1896, page 2
GILLESPIE.—At her residence, Eden Bank, Swan Creek, on the 19th instant, Sarah, widow of the late Leonard Gillespie ; aged 72 years.[1]
