Post by: MUCKLEJOCK on Saturday 04 October 14 05:50 BST (UK)

I am trying to get information on David Henry Hepburn Johnstone who was born in the Lanarkshire area in the 1860-70s. He moved to Tyneside where he spent the rest of his life. He married Margaret McKie.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FQPD-M4M     Thomas Johnston birth 1870

all born Dalziel, Lanark ...looks like only 3 children - unless they moved out of Lanark ??
I will see if I can find the parents marriage
ADDED- No luck with the marriage
he married Margaret McKie in dec qtr 1905 Newcastle Upon Tyne - therefore he was 32 years of age .then he moved to Gateshead
was this his first marriage ?

I found the 1871 census on Ancestry, though I'm afraid I can't find them on subsequent census returns.

Thanks Bevj. At least I have the beginning of the thread. I now need some additional information to sort out the relevant Johnstons.
Again thanks.
