    1. Re: [JOHNSTON] Re: Johnstons of South Derry (Castledawson / Magherafelt area)
    2. Please tell me more about your family. I am descended down from Sarah Johnston of Magherafelt/Moneymore area. The family kind of moved back and forth over the years. My Sarah is listed as a spinster on 1901 census. She had 4 kids - William (killed in WWI), Robert Andrew (only one who remained in Ireland), Mary who went to Canada (I have found a descendant of hers) and my grandmother Edith. Also living in the house at that time was a John McElwaine listed as a boarder. Sarah died in 1923 and is buried at St. John's C of I at Moneymore. In letters written by William who was at war, he mentioned another William Johnson and cousin Willie, someone named Daphne too. So I think there were Johnston relatives in same area and they were close. I am trying to break through and find out what happened to Robert Andrew, called Andy, who was in the Constabulary in 1922 in the B specials in Magherafelt.
