[castlebob]

Hello Researchers,
Can anyone confirm the birth & marriage dates of John Armstrong b Canonbie who wed Grizel Scott?
Also, did they produce a family of their own?
Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob

Can you give some approximate dates, please. I've done a check on the Marriage/Banns for them and can't find any that look likely from 1553 through to 1931 throughout Scotland. There are some John Armstrong/Scott marriages in Canonbie but not to a Grizel/Grace or anything starting with G

Just looked at your other thread:

John was born circa 1802 and died Canada 1867.

I'll have a look for a birth.

Three possibles - in order of probability  - all Canonbie

bpt. 20 July 1801 to Adam Armstrong and ?Ilian (possibly Lilian) Steel

bpt. 14 Feb 1804 to Charles Armstrong and Margaret Armstrong

bpt 26 May 1805 to John Armstrong and Nancey Furneux

The 1801 baptism looks like Torgehenhead, Canonbie not Toddlewood

Hello Gadget (& thanks)
I've just found some old scribbled notes which suggest John was possibly born in June 1715 in Canonbie & wed about 1739. He may have wed in Midlothian?
These same old notes I made many years ago also show a Christopher Armstrong born about 1680 in Canonbie marrying a girl - surname Little/Liddle?
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Bob

I must have given you a descendant 

Here's his baptism:

24 July 1715, Canonbie. Parents - John Armstrong and Isobel(l) Bell

I can't find a marriage but there are quite a lot of baptisms of their children showing on the IGI.

I'll type them up
