Hi Folks I have found, from the cancelled pages released by the PRONI, that my James Johnston became the tenant of plot 6 Rossmacawinney in 1873. He took over the tenancy from James Carson, for whom I think he had been working. After his death in 1888 the tenancy was taken on by his wife Catherine Johnston, nee Wilson from Greentown, who kept it until 1902. Is there any records anywhere that I can now find the names of the other members of the household? They do not appear in the 1901 censuses of both the UK and Ireland. Catherine and the youngest son are in the UK 1911 census but I can find no record of the second son John Robert Johnston born 23 June 1871. I would love to find out what happened to him so any help will be appreciated. I am coming to NI at the end of April so I can go to the PRONI if needed. David

There was two Catherine Johnstons listed in Killesher in 1901 census. One in Carrigan, working for Wm Strathearn, aged 49 Married, but husband not present. And one in Croaghram, widow, aged 86 her unmarried two sons are with her BUT A William Johnston, 45, wife Elizabeth 45, daughter Kathleen, 10, and son John James aged 7 Also step children named CRAWFORD Thomas, 22, Robert 19. Anne Jane 17. And Elizabeth aged 14. All Ch of I. In 1911 Johnston Wm, Elizabeth, Kathleen and John are living in house 16 Croaghrim. Md 20 yrs 2 born and both alive. No sign of the Step children, but they could have moved to another area. If people fall off the Radar, search for death, marriage if female, or migration. Remember Members of the Police or military in Ireland were often only listed in the Census records with their initials, age, county of birth, religion and occupation prior to enlisting. Viola.
