Hi Teena Thank you so very much for your generous offer and for all your wonderful work. It is very much appreciated. I am struggling to locate my Johnston/Kee family. I have an LDS Family search record of a marriage between William Kee and Sarah Johnston in 1841 Diocese of Armagh Ulster Province Ireland. Sarah Johnston's parents were probably John Johnston (?Land Agent) and Isabella ?Racing - indecipherable. Griffiths has Johnstons (and Johnsons) in Castle Farm Stewartstown. The Religious Census of Ireland for the Parish of Dungannon 1766 has a John Johnston (Protestant). We are fairly certain that Sarah Johnston had a sister Arabella Johnston who appears to have been born in ?Clonoe on 12 December 1834 Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Arabella married a George Newell in the Stewartstown First Presbyterian Church on 31 March 1854 . My great grandmother Arabella Kee (daughter of William Kee and Sarah Kee (Johnston) was born in Stewartstown on 17 June 1843. I would be so grateful if I could find graveyard records for any of: John Johnston, ?Isabella Johnston, William Kee or Sarah Kee (Johnston). Arabella Johnston migrated to Australia in 1855 and Arabella Kee also migrated here in 1864. Best wishes to all for the Christmas season (and hope you get the baking done!)
