name's will be looked up, remember VICTORIA ONLY as I do not have

:-)

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.

When I check the same list with those with the fathers given name as David it then narrows down to just three.

Subject: RE: [JohnstonAustralia] Birth Death & Marriage - Victorian look up's

Hello Jeannie.
first of all let me apologise for my late response due to moving house and then sent rather urgently for work purposes to Alice Springs and I had no internet access.
 
Despite that, I think that I do have some positive news for you.
 
David JOHNSTON (b:Scotland)
married in 1878 to
Isabella KIERNAN (b:Ireland)
registration No. 1949
 
David JOHNSTON
born: 1879 at DROUN (Drouin)
father: David JOHNSTON.
mother: Isabella KIERNAN
registration No. 15522
 
Isabella JOHNSTON (b:Ireland)
died: 1909 at Clifton Hill.
age: 61
father: Fran (Frank?) KIERNAN
mother: Ann McDERMOTT
registration No. 11919
 
Does this help you?
Please do not hesitate in contacting me for more information, but please try and include as much info as possible. David JOHNSTON is a popular name and by you adding in those little extras helped me to help you.
 
I now also have access to Deaths in Victoria up to 1985.
 
cheers
Tony Johnston

 Tony

 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.

 

Jeannie Johnston

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

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

Alexander Pringle Johnston, b.London c.1871; parents James Brown J. and Agnes Pringle ex Berwick, Northumberland; disappeared from Oamaru, North Otago, NZ, in 1900 and never heard of by family again. Any advice appreciated. Les Hewett, Commissioner, Clan Johnston/e Assn. NZ Inc.

If he went to Western Australia as you suggest, Les, you might like

Any lister/member with links/knowledge of Joseph Young Johnstone, Provost (?
grain of salt), Kirkcaldy, Fife, early-mid 1800's? Wife Margaret Levett.
The only known child: James Levett Johnstone, emigrated to Melbourne,
Australia and then volunteered to fight in the land wars in New Zealand. May
have come as a member of the British Army. Any advice appreciated by family
here. Les Hewett, Napier, New Zealand. ljhewett@...

Hi my maiden name is Kim Johnston.

I've joined this group hoping that someone can help me connect the
dots of my ancestry - or at least point me in the right direction? :)
Any help would really be appreciated.

I know that my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was George
Johnston who came over on the First Fleet, and I've discovered the
next generation down - but then I've lost 2 generations from them down
to my grandparents :(

This is what I have so far....

I hope that all comes through in the email ok....

Can anyone possibly fill in any blanks or connect any dots for me? Or
point me to some free resources which may help :)

Thanks very much!

Kim Holden (nee Johnston)

even though I formatted it - it came through with none of the spacing.

I have uploaded an excel spreadsheet instead - I hope someone can help
or that it will complete a missing piece for someone else :)

Cheers!

Kim :)

Hi Kim -
it is good to hear from you and that you have such an
illustrious ancestor.   My brother Donald Johnston always liked to
impress people by saying it was a Johnston who was the first person to
land in Australia (from the First Fleet) - actuallyYOUR ancestor!

If they were in NSW, try
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm
I have had great success there finding NSW relatives.

If in Victoria
http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home

Both sites allow you to get them online (if you pay, of course!)

best wishes, Gillian, Adelaide

Jyc>  Hi my maiden name is Kim Johnston.

Jyc> I've joined this group hoping that someone can help me connect the
Jyc> dots of my ancestry - or at least point me in the right direction? :)
Jyc> Any help would really be appreciated.

Jyc> I know that my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was George
Jyc> Johnston who came over on the First Fleet, and I've discovered the
Jyc> next generation down - but then I've lost 2 generations from them down

Hi All.  Its been a while since I was on as I hit the brick wall and
went onto another branch, but now I'm still looking for my
grandfather's brothers. Lewis Jack Johnston  1862 - 1903,  James Jack
Johnston  1866 - ?  and Alexander Jack Johnston  1871 -  ?. All were
born at Cockatoo Reef, near Rushworth, Victoria. Any info will be
gratfully received     Thanks  Val
