Thank you Aghadowey. Montaighs looks more than 13 - 15 miles from Belfast. So possibly rule that family out. Trying to do a process of elimination! I realise that a lot of the census is missing but if l can find an area of possibility would be great.

There are some of John Johnston's decendants coming to Ireland to look into our family tree in May 2010. Trying to help them as their time will be limited. Is there any other avenue that l could try or is it just not possible being such a common name in Northern Ireland? And not knowing the townland they came from?

Thanks again

Hi
The 13 to 15 miles from Belfast is the only clue l have to finding out the townland that my gr grandfather lived before coming to Australia. And yes there are a lot of Johnston's, have been through the 1851 Census for Antrim and there is a James and Mary Johnston who lived at Montaighs Townland, but cannot find it on the map site. Any suggestions?

Thank you , yes its a bit like a needle in a haystack! I have no idea of the distances in the 1800's between towns and l am presuming today it is a lot different again with Belfast and towns being bigger. Thought it was worth a try.

If anyone has any other avenues l could try, all suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Hi All

Could somebody help with names of towns situated 13 to 15 miles from Belfast in County Antrim?
It may give me some idea where my gr grandfather John Johnston came from. At the very least it will rule out a few.

Thanks

Hi Lindy-lou

Wondering if there is a connection between your Mary Mundie and our family

John Mundie born 1880 in Rosehearty to John Mundie & Isabella Hepburn
John Mundie born 1816 in Fraserburgh to John Mundie and Isabella Kelly
John Mundie born 1789 in Mains of Blacton, King Edward to parents William Mundie & Christian Brown
William Mundie born 1758 in Mill of Savock, Lonmay to parents Alexander Mundie & ?

Let me know what you think
