Witnesses: Joseph Nelson, Margaret Johnston. "My gg grandfather was John J. Johnston, son of William Johnston and Sarah Garvin of Castledawson, Londonderry, Ireland. John had a sister Isabella Johnston born 27 Oct 1836. I was told by another researcher she married a John Dale but not proof was forthcoming." Isabella (Johnston) Dale's marriage lists her father as James Johnston and this is consistent with a son born in 1866 called James Johsnton Dale. I can find no connection with this family to your Johnstons in Castledawson area. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
