Title: Robert Johnston and Hannah Shields
Post by: Ian BoJo on Wednesday 30 October 13 13:40 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Robert Johnston was born in 1767. Around 1797 Robert married Hannah Shields. Robert and Hannah had a family of seven - James, Margaret, Alexander, John, Robert , David and Archibald. Following Hannah death around 1820 in Ireland (County Tyrone?), Robert married Mary Brown Nee Porter, a widow with one child Samuel Brown.

During the early 1830s Robert and his family emigrated to Canada. Robert's daughter Margaret and her husband James Porter (brother of her step-mother Mary Brown Nee Porter) did not emigrate.

If anyone knows anything about this family, please contact me.

Many thanks and best regards.

Ian BoJo
