Hi, I am also researching an ARMOUR family which may have had connections to Robbie Burns wife. Have found the family in the 1841 and 1851 census, living in Greenock, Renfrewshire.
Names are: John Galbreath born 1809-1811 married Margaret ARMOUR b 1816-1817 in Paisley. John was a joiner/journeyman. In the 1841 census there is an Agnes ARMOUR b about 1791 mentioned, I wondered if she might be margarets mother or aunt?? I cannot find anything else about this family in scotland. Margaret appears to have emigrated to New Zealand in 1874 to live with her son John and his family in Dunedin. Family legend says that there is a connection to Robbie burns..... research found that Jean Armour (Robbies wife) had an uncle she stayed with in Paisley.
John and Margaret Galbreath (nee Armour) had children with names Agnes, Janet, Lachlan, Margaret and John. Margarets death cert says she was born in Paisley. she married John Galbreath in Greenock.
Any info much appreciated.
