Just wondering whether the Jardines referred to have any connection with Jardine Hall (that was used as a school in the 1950's), near Lochmaben.

John Armstrong is in my family tree -- he married Nicolas Jardine
His daughter Mary Armstrong married Adam Bell
His daughter Hannah Bell married William Graham

William and Hannah are my GGG-grandparents.

Hi "Sandy D"... I talked to someone awhile back in ref to Mary Armstrong ( who married Bell) He wasn't sure if THAT was his line. Are you "sure" this is yours? Cause if it is we are related! lol..The son William Armstrong is my GGG grandfather.  He traveled to N Ireland married a Montgomery and named one of his (18) children " Nicholina" after his mother. She was my gg grandma. IF you are sure you are related to this line...WELL ...then .. HELLO cuz! LOL Let me know.................

Soopy,

Yes, I'm sure Mary Armstrong married Adam Bell, Adam was my GGG-Grandmother Hannah Bell's father.

I'm looking at the family tree I have:

Mary Armstrong's siblings:

Jean 1760
William 1764 (married Jane Montgomery)
Isabella 1767 (married Willem Wright)

I think there was a brother James as well.

Mary's parents:  John Armstrong & Nicholas Jardine

Soopy,

more information:

Adam Bell's father:  Francis Bell, married Margaret Nicol (Margaret's father William Nicol)
Francis Bell's father:  William Bell, married Jannet Oliver (Jannet's father Thomas Oliver)
William Bell's father:  John Bell, married Anna Armstrang
