Hi
I have a William Henry Johnston in my tree.  He was born in Hobart in
1877 to Samuel Henry Johnston and Catherine Gertrude nee TREGEAR. I
don't have a marriage for him but his age would be about right.

I'm fascinated by the name PENMAN as it also appears in my tree on the
other side of the family.

Hello Lorna,
            did you know that in Queensland, Birth's, Deaths's and
Marriages between 1829 - 1914 is available online?
You could do some basic research there and it may assist you.

http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/IndexSearch.htm#

I have also had a quick look on Australian War memorial site and
there is family there. At that site there are various places to look
so give that a shot.
Concentrate on -
*First World War Embarkation Roll.
*First World War Nominal Roll.
*Second World War Nominal Roll.

http://www.awm.gov.au/database/nroll.asp

Also check out the Collections Database while there. A good search
may find more interestind stuff for you.

http://www.awm.gov.au/database/collection.asp


Another good site is the National Archives of Australia where I also
see family listed.

http://www.awm.gov.au/database/nroll.asp

I would like to help more but I am moving house this week and time is
limited for me on the computor.
Let me know if this information is productive for you.

Good luck and be warned, Family Research is Addictive.

Cheers
Tony Johnston.

Sorry Linda,
In my previous post I refered to you as Lorna when I meant Linda.
I got a little confused with names because Lorna answered you.
But never mind as the information I posted will be relevent to you both.
With regards to Lorna's reply to you about having name Penman as part
of the given name, I would say that it is most likely that you are
related.
I say that because of the traditional Naming Convention of the Scot's.

Here is a quick explanation.

Scottish, 1700 to 1800's.

First daughter - named for maternal grandmother
Second daughter - named for paternal grandmother
Third daughter - named after her mother
Other daughters were named after other family members
First son - named after paternal grandfather
Second son - named after maternal grandfather
Third son - named after his father

This policy holds true unless one family member had more assets or a
higher social standing than the other. One unique aspect of Scottish
naming was that if two grandmothers or two grandfathers had the same
given name, two children in the same family would end up with the same
name. Another practice was to name daughters after the clergyman or
other important male figure.

Hope this explains it.

Naming Conventions
Naming Order of Children



English and Welsh, 1700 - 1879.


First daughter - named after the mother's mother (maternal
grandmother)
Second daughter - named after the mother's father's mother
Third daughter - named after the mother
Fourth daughter - named after the mother's oldest sister
First son - named after the father's father
Second son was named after the mother's father
Third son - named after the father
Fourth son - named after the father's eldest brother.

Exceptions apply if there was a duplication of a given name. In that
case the practice was to skip to the next name on the list.



Irish, 1800's.

First daughter - named after the paternal grandmother
Second daughter - named after the maternal grandmother
First son - named after the paternal grandfather,
Second son - named after the maternal grandfather

After that alternate names using the grandmothers', grandfather's;
mother's, aunt's and uncle's names. If a child died, that name was to
be recycled with a future child.



Scottish, 1700 to 1800's.

First daughter - named for maternal grandmother
Second daughter - named for paternal grandmother
Third daughter - named after her mother
Other daughters were named after other family members
First son - named after paternal grandfather
Second son - named after maternal grandfather
Third son - named after his father

This policy holds true unless one family member had more assets or a
higher social standing than the other. One unique aspect of Scottish
naming was that if two grandmothers or two grandfathers had the same
given name, two children in the same family would end up with the
same name. Another practice was to name daughters after the clergyman
or other important male figure.

Hello Marilyn,
thank you for your enquiry and what I did was make a seperate posting
with the information I have in case others may wish to make use of it.
When I was supplied with this information from a fellow researcher it
made my life easier and seemed to make sense when you look at it. It
seems that it also works with you as well.

As you can see from previous posts from Linda and Lorna, because of
the name Penman mixed in thier family names it is most likely that
they are related.

From my family research it seems that my Johnston(e) line is also
Scottish Johnstone and Irish Johnston(e).

I have also a list of earlier Occupations (eg Baxter = Baker) and
Medical Conditions (eg Apoplexy = Stroke) if any one thinks I should
post them.

If you (or any one else) requires information on births, deaths and
marriage between 1837 - 1920 in VICTORIA ONLY I can look the
information up. It may take a couple of weeks as I am moving house
this weekend to a rural location and I will need time to settle in
and sort out the broadband issue.

good luck with the research and thanks again for your email
cheers

Lorna    The Penman name belongs to my husband's GGgrandmother Isabella
Penman. Her parents were John Penman and Maria Wright. Any
connection?   Linda.

My GGrandfather David Johnston married Rebecca Anne Penfold (from TAS)
on the 5th of October 1904.

Who was David's father? I have George David Johnston b. 1882 Hobart
son of John Johnston.

Am looking for infomation or any descendents of the above; born Fife,
Scotland, father David. First wife Susan HUTTON married 1854 Glasgow,
arrived NSW Australia 1855.. ship unknown. Second wife Ellen Fountain
married 1874 Sydney. Was an Engineer on "James Patterson" (Australian
coast). Died 1884 Pyrmont, buried at Balmain Cemetery. Thank you for
any info...Regards Julie.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for including me in this group.  I have
Johnstons on both sides of my family - there is no
connection between the two !
So I am Irish, married to a Frenchman and living in
France although I go to Ireland regularly to see the
family.
My father's mother's maiden name was Johnston and it
was these ancestors who emigrated to NZ in the 1850s.
William Johnston, a solicitor (my great x 2
grandfather's brother) in Temuka, Otago.  To cut a
long story short, I am looking for his son, another
William ;

  William JOHNSTON born on 16th August 1860 in Kuri
Bush, Otago.  He probably married Ellen Sophia MATHER.
  The 1893 Taieri electoral roll has an entry for Ellen
Mather of Mosgiel, domestic duties.  They had one son.

  Graydon Mather JOHNSTON, born 5th November 1898.  He
was enrolled in St Helier’s School in Auckland between
October 1905 and February 1907 when the family went to
Australia.  Graydon married Mollie WILLANS in 1933, in
Chatswood, NSW.  He died in 1967 and Mollie in 1969.
They are both buried in Bathurst, NSW.

I lose track of William & family as from 1907 when
they went to Australia - I don't know where they went
... until 1933 when son Graydon married in Chatswood
etc etc (see above)
I have looked in NSW, Victoria and can't find death of
William & his wife.
The NSW birth records on line are not up to date
enough to give me names of Graydon & Mollie's children
- I would really love to find a descendant still
living !!!!

If I can be of any help to anyone at this end, it
would be with pleasure.  BMD records in England and I
can also do some research on my trips to Ireland.

All the best, Liz

 Thank you so much.... you have found out so much more information than I could have hoped for.

 

I never knew Isabella's last name or anything about her. We had her studio portrait at home. Her husband - my great grandfather - according to family folk lore was a philanderer!

 

There's a mystery about the whole family because on the shipping records the name was changed from  Church register name Munro to Johnston.

 

You may be able to solve this mystery - all we know about my great grandfather  is his date of birth - and there are 2 different months but the year is the same- and his date of death... but I don't know where he died.

 

David Johnston born Scotland - either 14/ 7/1854 OR 14/4/1854.... died 9/10/1906....

 

That's interesting about Isabella's place of death because my grandparents David [ her eldest child] and Elizabeth Johnston were living at Plant Street Northcote at the time. I do not know where her other children Frank and Helen were living at the time.

 

Of course, discovering that I have Irish blood is  ironic because I have always been quite definite in my protestations that there wasn't a drop of Irish blood in my veins. I was proudly English, Scots and German.

 

Thank you so much for the time you have spent filling in the gaps  for me.

 

Jeannie Johnston.

Hello Jeannie,
                 sorry but not much luck this time.
 
Checking my death index list between 1902 - 1913 for David JOHNSON/JOHNSTON/JOHNSTONE. I see thirteen recorded deaths.
 
When I check the same list with those with the fathers given name as David it then narrows down to just three.
 
None of these in died in 1906.
 
By any chance do you have the name of the mother of the David in question?
 
Feel free to make other enquiries

I never knew Isabella's last name or anything about her. We had her studio portrait at home. Her husband - my great grandfather - according to family folk lore was a philanderer!

 

There's a mystery about the whole family because on the shipping records the name was changed from  Church register name Munro to Johnston.

 

You may be able to solve this mystery - all we know about my great grandfather  is his date of birth - and there are 2 different months but the year is the same- and his date of death... but I don't know where he died.

 

David Johnston born Scotland - either 14/ 7/1854 OR 14/4/1854.... died 9/10/1906....

 

That's interesting about Isabella's place of death because my grandparents David [ her eldest child] and Elizabeth Johnston were living at Plant Street Northcote at the time. I do not know where her other children Frank and Helen were living at the time.

 

Of course, discovering that I have Irish blood is  ironic because I have always been quite definite in my protestations that there wasn't a drop of Irish blood in my veins. I was proudly English, Scots and German.

 

Thank you so much for the time you have spent filling in the gaps  for me.

 

Jeannie Johnston.

 You may be able to help me with this problem:

 

according to the details in our Family Bible... my Grandfather:

 

David Stanislaus Johnston -DOB 25/6/1879,

Place: Langwarrin Sth Gippsland...

 

I have drawn a blank .... with the Victorian Births, deaths  & Marriages... no such name or birth is registered!!!! ????

 

His parents were David Johnston [ Munro] born in Greenock Scotland 14/7/1854,

 

Isabella ... Irish... don't know her maiden name as it is not recorded in the Family Bible.

 

Can you find out any details, please? Surely the birth was registered.

 

Isabella Johnston died in Melbourne 28/10/1909- according to what is in the Family Bible.

Hello Jeannie,
                 sorry but not much luck this time.
 
Checking my death index list between 1902 - 1913 for David JOHNSON/JOHNSTON/JOHNSTONE. I see thirteen recorded deaths.
 
When I check the same list with those with the fathers given name as David it then narrows down to just three.
 
None of these in died in 1906.
 
By any chance do you have the name of the mother of the David in question?
 
Feel free to make other enquiries

I just simply cannot find a match for this one and admit defeat.

Hi again all,
I ordered Graydon Mather Johnston's death cert dated
1967 in Bathurst.  It says that Graydon was born in
Stirling West, South Australia (1898).  As I said in
my first message, he was then in a school in Auckland
before the family returned to Australia in 1907.
Perhaps they came back to Stirling West ...
Graydon & his wife Mollie nee Willans had one son,
William W. Johnston, born about 1936.
Perhaps he is still in Bathurst ... at the time the
family were living at 18 Blandford St.
Has anyone got access to records in South Australia to
see if Graydon's parents, William and Ellen are buried
there...
Or indeed to marriage records in NSW after 1960, to
see perhaps if William W. Johnston married ...

Many thanks for any help at all !!!
Liz

Hello everyone,
The on-line birth records for NSW only go up to 1906.
Would anyone have a CD of these records, to see if
there is a William W. Johnston born about 1935, father
Graydon, mother Mollie nee Willans.

Many thanks in advance
Liz

Subject: RE : [JohnstonAustralia] My Johnstons in Ireland, NZ & Australia

Hello everyone,
The on-line birth records for NSW only go up to 1906.
Would anyone have a CD of these records, to see if
there is a William W. Johnston born about 1935, father
Graydon, mother Mollie nee Willans.

Many thanks in advance
Liz

Hi there Tony,
thank you very much for your help.  The
Maturin/Johnston connection is Me !!!!! With a few
distant cousins in England Ireland and Wales and one
in Australia !
I'll look at the Rootswebb too.
Someone called Joan gave me William's wife's death in
Chatswood NSW and then her birth in Karcultaby South
Wales.  I think the Mathers must definitely have been
from South Wales.
I just have to find Williams death - probably in South
Wales somewhere as his wife probably went to NSW to be
close to son Graydon after that ...

We were in Darwin a couple of years ago, when visiting
one of our sons who was working in Sydney for six
months.  We really enjoyed our trip "down under"

Many thanks for everything
Liz
