Thank you Sandra you have been very busy the information you have given me is very useful .Now all I need to do is connect this person to Robert Johnston born 1835 in Co Monaghan died 1888 in Carlisle married to Bridget Byrne born 1837 in Leitrim Ireland died 1924 Glasgow who had 7 children I have traced Robert 1871 -1949 from Carlisle to Glasgow then to Liverpool in seaforth area where Hugh Robert and his family were living ,I know there is a connection as I have a DNA match with some one from this side of the family .Thanks again I will keep digging
