Maddy you are terrific ....................THANKYOU

I have been putting in the wrong dates never expecting notice to be so far from his death date.

I guess I was too busy reading your reply to notice you had sent the details.

You have solved my answers.

I am so thankful to you!  Cheers

Hi Maddy

I have looked for a death notice for David Johnston but can only find one family notice from the Aberdare Central miners Lodge on 4th December 1935.   Are you able to tell me what paper you found the wording "the late JOhn McLaren".  Sorry I looked everywhere.  Appreciate your help.
Regards Honda

Hi Maddy  - Thankyou for your help and my apology regarding John McLaren.

I joined ancestry again on the weekend and have found a link to all the McLaren family and you are quite right both John and Sarah Jane McLaren came to Australia.(I did not know that)

It appears some of the family came to NSW later.  Its interesting that in 1937 John Camfield McLaren lived in Sefton, Bankstown North and later Randwick where he died from a horse kick. My mother lived in a nearby suburb of Punchbowl so we are getting close to joining the dots.

Maddy I will attempt at getting the death notice again from the paper, thankyou! I only have the funeral notice from the Labor Daily dated 4 December 1935.

Yes I think the best option is to purchase a death certificate for David Morrison Johnston and hope this will reveal all my information.

Once Again thankyou!

Wow everyone has been busy............Thankyou!

Maddy your Margaret born 1921 seems interesting.  So does David John McLaren Johnston. That McLaren gives good vibes.

I have David John Johnston born 23 June, 1922 Enlisted Woollongong Service no. NX171838 but can't verify the connection.

I have researched Agnes McLarens family in Scotland and no McLarens came to Australia only David Morrison Johnston and Agnes McLaren (born Sarah Agnes McLaren). Agnes mother and father are John McLaren and Sarah Jane Camfield (Jeweller in Edinburgh)as per Scotlands People Marriage's

A relative had a feeling that Agnes Johnston returned to Scotland after David's death but can't find info to clarify.

I've tried to find the passenger list as well to see if children born Scotland or Australia.

I have a David John Morrison marrying an Olive Rae Raefield who I thought maybe Davids son living in the Cessnock area and have left messages but nobody has connected back.  I've even sent the funeral home of Olive a message to send them a message but so far nothing.

I appreciate everyone's help and I feel we maybe getting close to a break through.

Once again Thankyou!

Would appreciate any help on finding information on David Morrison Johnston b. 19 September 1891 Old Monkland married to Agnes McLaren in 1919 Bargeddie Scotland.  David came to Australia with family and worked in the Aberdare Central Colliery near Cessnock but unfortunately died in Dec 1935. I only have information from the family notice that he is buried in the Presbyterian section Cessnock Cemetery.
I have a photo of his children which has the names Billie and Margaret.
I am trying to trace the families of these children and believe they could still be in the area around Cessnock.
Would really love to know what happened to Agnes after David's death as she was still young enough and may have remarried.

Appreciate anyones help! Thankyou!

I have just come upon this site.  I think I have a Mcknight in the family if I can connect a Jean Marr.  The family I am interested in is the George Mcknight who married Jean Marr.  Apparently they have a daughter Agnes Mcknight b. 24 March 1839.  Whilst researching the Marr family - the 1841 Census of Bonnyton Toll Ochiltree has an Agnes McNaight age 2 appearing with Mrs John Marr - Tollgather, William Marr 25, John Marr 25, James Marr 20, Margaret Marr 20 and Agnes Marr 22.  I am trying hard to connect this little Agnes Mcknight (McNaight) with the Marr family and I need to know which Jean Marr married George McKnight.  Is anyone able help me here please.
