Armour family

[Tineke]

I am probably grasping at straws ,but wondered if anyone can find a connection between my Armour family  and Jean Armour  Robert Burns wife
My gg grandmother Elizabeth Armour 1826 -1908 m James McWhinnie b1826
Her father Stewart Armour 1804-1874 m Margaret Chambers 1806
His father John Armour 1761 m Margaret Craig  1760
His father Andrew Armour 1737-1776 m Elizabeth Small1737
His father William Armour 1710 m Margaret Wylie. 1716
His father JamesbArmour 1672
    The Armour family seem to have lived in Kilmarnock.    As a matter of interest we have at leased 2 sets of twins in the family my mother being a twin.   Would appreciate any help. Regards. Tineke

Many thanks for your reply.I have seen the Burns /Armour tree before. I am more interested in a connection between my Armours and Jean Armour. if there is one of course .There may not be one but would  like to find it if there is.   Thanks again Tineke

The following was included on the website I sent:

 Jean Armour was born on 25 February 1765 in Mauchline, Ayrshire, Scotland. She was the daughter of James Armour and Mary Smith. She was baptized on 3 March 1765 in Mauchline.

If you look on Scotland’s People you will see her baptism record, this only notes the father James, as do 9 out of the other 10 records, which makes it a little difficult unless you obtain the OPR. There is only one which names both parents, Mary 1779.

Luckily I have found the following Wiki Tree, it does not offer much detail on her siblings but it might help you to work out any connection. It seems to agree with the records on SP.

Hi Tineke
William Armour (b.1710) is my 6th great-grandfather and I have been unable to find any information on his parents. You msg states that JamesbArmour 1672 is his father. Do you mind me asking where you found this information?
kind regards

Hello Tracey
    It is a long time since I researched the Armours , but I must have found the information on Ancestry as I have the records of baptism ,marriage etc which all seem correct.  William is my 6th g grandfather.  His father James  b 1672 my 7th g grandfather.  I have no birth date for his father James.  The Armours all seemed to have lived the  Kilmarnock area .Hope this helps. 
Kind regards   Tineke

I think that the 1710 record referred to is on Family Search & Scotland’s People but sadly no first name recorded)

? Armour birth: 16 September 1710
Baptism 19 September 1710, KILMARNOCK, AYR, SCOTLAND
Residence: 1710 Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland – Father James

You could check the record on SP it might give a clue to see if it was William.

William Armour married Margaret Wylie 7 June 1736, Kilmarnock
It seems they only had three children, Andrew 1737, Agnes 1739 – Margaret age 0 burial 22 Nov 1746 father William.

It’s likely that Margaret Wylie was baptised 12 Aug 1705 in Kilmarnock parents Thomas Wylie & Isabel Legate but there are other options elsewhere in Ayrshire.
(Also Thomas 1699, John 1702 & Jean 1712)

The only record on SP in Scotland for:
William Armour baptised 4 June 1702 in Kilmarnock parents David Armour and Elspeth Park. (Also David 1700 & Robert 1705)

The snag with both baptisms in the naming of their children
