Alan, Why did I call you Jock?
Going back into the communication thread, I see that you probably have provided some of the information I wanted. Thanks for your help. I am a great grandson of Helen Finlay Stanners.
Keep in touch.
Mucklejock.

Thanks Jock,
That line goes back three generations further than I was able to find. I got as far as Walter Stanners married to Helen Finlay. Can you let me have the rest of that line of Stanners. Did you identify when the Stanners brothers came down from, I believe, Glen Morriston area?

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.

Alan, We've established that meggy1 and Mucklejock are related through Helen Finlay Stanners and
John Thompson Bell, third cousins. Now, where do you fit into the picture? Are they in your family tree? What branch are you on?
Regards.
John

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.

The story , as told by my grandfather, was that the three Stanners, Walter, Neil and Malcolm came down to Bo'ness from the Glen Moriston area in the 16-1700s.

Regarding Alan Gow's comment, Helen Finlay Stanners was married to John Thompson Bell, one of the founders of Carriden Band. She was my Great Grandmother through Grandfather Alexander Bell and mother Janet Grant Bell.

I posted this in the wrong place at first. My first attempt after signing up. Meggy1, I noticed the names Finlay Stanners. My Grandmother was Helen Finlay Stanners Bell. Her husband was John Thompson Bell. Her sons were Alexander (Band Sandy), John (Old Kirk beadle), James (coop baker) and Walter (Carriden pit). She lived at the Anchorage on Philpingstone Road and died in 1941. Are we related?
