  General Notes:

Christopher and Jane emigrated in 1853 on the "James L Bogart" in 1853.

Christopher appeared as the head of household, labourer, 38, Eskdalemuir
census on 31 Mar 1851. Household 2/35 Harelawhill Cottage (814), Parish of
Canonbie.

Harelaw is a place name in Liddesdale, and looks to be the second stronghold
of the Armstrong clan.
Quote:
"Driving north from Canonbie you will come upon the farms of Harelaw and
Caulside. (map ref: 79 45 80) Here you could linger a while and consider
that you are now in the very heart of Reiver country, for it was here there
lived the most active and the most feared of all the Reiving families.
(The Anglo-Scottish REIVERS were border bandits of the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Along with raiding, they carried on DEADLY FEUDS with each other).
The Armstrong, were the principal reiving clan of the Borders and dominated
the west Marches during the 16th century. They spread from Liddesdale into
Eskdale and Annandale and occupied much of what was known as the Debateable
Land, the disputed territory between Scotland and England. They ran a
protection racket deep into England and conducted an unremitting guerrilla
warfare against the English establishment in Carlisle.

Christopher died from Brights disease.

The Seymour Express, Friday, March 20 1908.
AVENEL
On Sunday last, anniversary services in connection with the local Presbyterian church were held, the Rev. A. Buntine preaching in the afternoon; the evening the Rev. E. H. Chapple referred in eulogistic terms to the good workes carried out in the parish by the late Mr. Dixon, and also his family.
An old resident in the person of Mr. Dixon died here on Friday last. The old gentleman, who was almost a centengrian - having passed his 97th year - was hale and hearty up to a short time ago. The funeral, which took place on Saturday was largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased.
