A son John ended up in Australia where he married:

John senior died 1867 back in Ornley. Spouse Ann died in Victoria but I don't have the death reg to match:

Thanks Geoff.

That looks right.

I think there is one more query.


This is the one born 1819:

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848-1954) - Saturday 26 January 1867 p.4
DEATHS
JOHNSTON.-On the 22nd October, at his father's residence, Crook, Rendall, Orkney, after a lingering illness, Captain John Johnston, late of No. 4 Howard-street, West Melbourne. Deeply regretted by his wife and a large circle of friends.


Birth of John after 1848 and arrival of family in Australia.

One of these is John born after 1848 - one probably January or December the previous year and one probably around August as a rough guess.

60/1925 JOHNSTON JOHN J - JOHN - SYDNEY
9969/1925 JOHNSTON JOHN - JOHN - SYDNEY

Make that two ot three.

Make that two ot three.

We wait with bated breath :biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

The family possibly arrived in Victoria. It's even possible John junior was born in Victoria 1848-1855. I have no age. One of those 1925 deaths to be sorted.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 11 September 1875 p.1
MARRIAGES
JOHNSTON - RILEY.-September 4, by the Rev. T. Gainford, at the Mariners' Church, John Johnston, youngest son of the late Captain John Johnston, Peterhead, Scotland, to Rachel Mary Ann Kemp Riley, youngest daughter of William Riley, of this city.

So an elder son or more born in Victoria 1848-1855 or born Scotland and arrived with parents.

Died 1925. Don't know which reg yet.

 

[DaveHam9]

The January one is John Jacob married to Florence A.

Still searching TROVE for the other one. May not be a notice with no hits using 'Rachel' as well to cut down the 91 hits.

I have found a Private tree that lists a John born 1851 Glasgow with a death in 1925. No idea if it's the right one.

 

[DaveHam9]

Any JOHNSTON deaths in Victoria 1848 onwards with father = John and mother = Ann Seatter ?
