Title: Seeking parents of George Johnstone b. 1799 from Annandale
Post by: Poets Girl on Sunday 20 October 13 19:12 BST (UK)
Hi ,

I am looking for the parents of George Johnstone born 1799 in or around Annan, trouble is I have found three and cannot find a link to mine. George Johnstone, my G/G/G/Granddad, married Elizabeth Carruthers (she was born Gretna 1800/1801) he married her in Blackburn in 1824 where he was a Tea Dealer, I know about their lives after that, it's George's parentage I am struggling with.

Elizabeth had a sister born 1803 in Gretna called Helen, she married a John Pasley Coulthart and lived in Redhouse Farm in Kirkpatrick Fleming , I do not know if this information helps with discovering George's beginnings

Any help would be welcome , Many Thanks
