David/Leslie JOHNSTON

[horse]

Getting overrun with Vera M's

Maybe not so many after all..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

They must have moved a lot and changed names at times as well.

But 1963 is very odd.

They must have moved a lot and changed names at times as well.

Without a doubt, I haven't checked for May Vera or May V..

Not seeing much else, checked some of the variants?

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

I think we need some help from a tree.

John is probably an uncle. But there is also an uncle Leslie so not all the 'Leslie' would be David Leslie.

I think we need some help from a tree.

So little available, I know some will be private, but there's usually a bit more than found so far?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I had only followed the one son in my tree and left the other 9 children behind including a Vera M Johnston born 1894 - no idea if and when she married - so we do have 2x Vera M.

For example

1949 NSW Electoral Roll - West Sydney - Glebe
JOHNSTON Leslie, 52 Glebe street, dealer
JOHNSTON John, 52 Glebe street, railway employee

They would be brothers and uncles of David Leslie.

 

[horse]

so we do have 2x Vera M.

Still not sure, Dave?

Geoff

EDIT: Do we only see one of them once?

 

[horse]

2416/1973 JOHNSTON JOHN - JOHN - RACHAEL - SYDNEY

JOHNSTON John Death notice 24APR1973 Death SMH 26APR1973 * age should be abt 85.

Is one of those johns' the railway worker?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

We have 2 Geoff.

One born 1894 as Johnston but no marriage or death yet.

If all 'Leslie' are the uncle then we are missing lots of David Leslie in the rolls.

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Is one of those johns' the railway worker?

Geoff

Only one John - the Ryerson is the same death date - yes I think that is the railway employee and uncle of David Leslie.

The brother of that John is a Leslie. !!

I only traced David Leslie's father not all his uncles until now.

John born 1888 d. 1973
Leslie born 1881 d. 1965.

 

[horse]

One born 1894 as Johnston but no marriage or death yet.

Found an early tree now.. Not checked yet.

Marriage Date: 1912
Registration Place: Sydney, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1912
Registration Number: 4302

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

That rules her out from that date so back to 1x Vera Johnston in rolls.

1963 NSW Electoral Roll - West Sydney - Glebe
JOHNSTON Leslie, 52 Glebe street, dealer
JOHNSTON John, 52 Glebe street, railway employee
JOHNSTON May, 52 Glebe street, home duties

If all 'Leslie' are the uncle then that 1963 does not have David Leslie or Vera May in it, brothers and who ever May is??

In 1963 David Leslie is the box maker.

 

[DaveHam9]

We have John by himself in 1968 because brother Leslie had died.

 

[horse]

That rules her out from that date so back to 1x Vera Johnston in rolls.

That tree has her as the dau of:
"William John Johnson
1852–1934

Rachel Mary Anne RILEY
1851–1945"

Geoff

 

[horse]

We have John by himself in 1968 because brother Leslie had died.

Yep..
Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.
