Armstrong wed Jane Carlyle Date?

[castlebob]

Hello All,
I'm looking for the marriage date for John Armstrong of Pokeskine, Middlebie who wed Jane Carlyle. She was the daughter of John Carlyle (1705-1788). Also, a birth date for John Armstrong.
Thanks,
Bob

I'm sorry Bob I am not clear if John or Jane was born 1705, was it in Dumfries?

From this, Jane looks to have been born c. 1741? http://originofthekirbys.com/tree/Origins/family/F87/John-Armstrong-Jane-Carlyle

From this, John Armstrong born c. 1758? Much younger than Jane Carlyle if her birth year c. 1741? Or, is this John Armstrong of Pokesking, son of John Armstrong and wife Jane Carlyle?

castlebob, you are the expert in all things Armstrong

Who died on 3 Dec 1841 aged 71 - was it Jane or her grandson Thomas Currie?

I was confused with that too, Forfarian! I think on consideration that it might be referring to Thomas Currie. Have to say, I am not getting the order and accuracy of birth years etc for the family!

Many thanks everyone,
The 1758 date fits with what I found in my notes. I believe John b1758 to be a brother of the Laird of Kirtleton - 1760-1828.
However, one will suggests he was from a previous generation.
Cheers,
Bob

There is a will of a Captain Thomas Currie HEICS who died in 1802, intestate. His wife Jane was appointed executrix.

If John Armstrong died in 1845, he should be in the census? And the person who died on 3 December 1841 ought also to be there.

Many thanks everyone,

Hate to state the obvious, but if John was b 1758 and the Laird was b 1760, then John was older, not younger, than the Laird.
