Greetings! I am researching a JOHNSTON family who immigrated from the Hoddom area of Dumfries, Scotland, sometime after June of 1821. The info I have thus far is as follows: James Johnston b10 Jul 1780 (son of William Johnston & Elizabeth McWilliam) in Hoddom, married Mary Bell on 6 Nov 1802. They had the following children, all born in Dumfries, Scotland: Janet 17 Mar 1811 bapt 18 Aug 1811 at Brownknow Robert 31 Jan 1815 bapt 24 Feb 1815 at Brownknow William Hope b 15 may 1819 bapt 2 June 1819 at Axeltreewell Grizel b 31 May 1821 bapt 6 June 1821 at Axeltreewell Robert Johnston (above) married Margaret McKay on 20 mar 1843 and they had: James about 1854 Hugh Mckay 7 mar 1856 William about 1858 Hugh McKay Johnston (above) married Margaret Jane Parker (b 5 Jul 1856 Chatham) on 21 Jul 1884 and they had: Frankie may 5 Jan 1885 Newcastle Huxley 17 Sept 1887 Newcastle Farron 1891 Newcastle Malcolm Pierre 1 Sept 1902 Bedford, Virginia, U.S. Huxley Johnston (above) married Laura Jane Wright (B 4 Oct 1887 Bedford, Va., on 27 Apr 1910 in Calgary, Alberta and they had Margaret Virginia 30 Aug 1911 Calgary May Elizabeth 16 Nov 1912 Calgary Would anyone have access to census records before 1881 that could check on the families of James Johnston & Mary Bell (after 1821) and Robert Johnston & Margaret McKay ( 1851, 61 & 71). I would also like to know if there are any cemetery listing online for the Newcastle area where I can check for deaths of these folks. I should be DELIGHTED to hear from anyone else researching this family! Pat Marshall Ontario, Canada
