Armour family

[esharrock]

I just came across this thread when researching my own connection to the Armours of Ayrshire: Stewart Armour Rodman (1890-?) was my great-grandfather, who in turn was the great-grandson of Stewart Armour (1804-74).

I'm afraid I haven't been able to verify the Jean Burns connection (was a myth handed down on my mum's side!), but I have found some work which traces the Armour line back to 1575 on familysearch.org which may be of interest.

Jane Amour b 1700 abt Kilmarnock is at the top of my tree
Married Hugh Dunlop

I match DNA with people who have
Ayr ARMOUR. And earlier from Argyll
But I haven't joined the dots yet

Janes father may have been James son of Robert b about 1650

So there must be a connection to the Argyll family but I don't know what

Thanks for your message . If I come across a connection   I will  get back to you ,,Regards  Tineke

My family married into the Armours in the early 1800s. I would very much like to know the source of the dates of William Armours birth and also the source of his father being James (and when/where he was born. I cannot find this on Scotland's People (OPRs)

I too have Jane Amour (b 1700*) abt Kilmarnock at the top of my tree, spouse of merchant Hugh Dunlop (1701-1788). 


re 'Jane's father may have been James son of Robert b about 1650'.

I can only find the following baptisms on SP so would value the source of your information:
   
Janet dau John Armour/Jean Armour, 21/07/1694 Kilmarnock'   

Janet dau Alexander Armour/Mary Waters 31/12/1696 Kilmarnock,   

Janet dau John Armour/Mary Bankhead 30/04/1710 Kilmaurs
