I am looking for information on the siblings of my great-grandfather John Johnstone, born Dec. 15, 1872, in Chrinside, Berwick, Scotland. Married Mary Younger Dec. 23,1901 in St. Angustine Church, New Castle, England. Immigrated to Canada in 1911.

Father William Johnstone
Mother Isabella Dickson
Brother William Johnstone b. 14 Oct. 1860
Brother Robert Johnstone b. 13 Dec. 1864
Brother George Johnstone b. 11 Feb. 1867
Sister Margaret Johnstone b. 21 Apr. 1870 m. possibly a Hume
Sister Elizabeth Johnstone b. 1880 in Tweedmouth, Northumberland, England.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Ann

Hi Anne,

did you know there was another child named Alexander who died at Chirnside aged 3 1/4 yrs in 1866.

Where were your family in 1871? I can't find them at all!

Hi Barbara

Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon. No I did not know about Alexander. According to what I have Margaret was born in Chirnside 21 April, 1870 and Grandpa Johnstone was born 15 Dec. 1872 in Chirnside, so I assume
they were in Chirnside, Berwick, Scotland in 1871. I have a copy of the 1881 British Census and they were living in Tweedmouth, Northumberland, England.
Thanks again.
Ann

Yes I agree they should be but can't find them on either of the big sites. And don't think freecen has got it. This is my area so will look on the microfilm tomorrow if I get chance. I know you are mostly interested in the siblings but do you know where the mum and dad come from?

Okay Ann will have a look.

And thanks Dave for showing me that one of the big sites at least doesn't show Johnson as a variation of Johnston even when you tick the box that you want variations!
