There appears to be 2 different James Armstrongs who happened to marry a Emma Mills

Canada James Armstrong Born: abt 1837 Died: 27 Feb 1900 Location: York, Ontario, Canada

USA James Armstrong Born: abt 1855 Died: 9 Apr 1922 Location: Pocahontas, Tazewell, Virginia, United States

However only in the Year: 1891; Census Place: Vaughan, York West, Ontario; Roll: T-6381; Family No: 2 lists an Eliza as a child I found no record of a Eliza Born in any of the United States Census records. I believe there is enough information to support 2 different Families.

See note on profile Armstrong-2553. I don't believe James and Emma are the parents of Eliza
