Hello again Mick, last one for now - this is Isabella Dorothea Mary Johnston (May Miller) with my Uncle Billy, taken at the shop she owned in Ormeau Street ( long gone!) off the Ormeau Road. I remember it very clearly, the living room and kitchen were at the back of the shop with bedrooms and bathroom above on 2 storeys. Bye for now.  :D

Hello Mick, another one as all seems to be going well so far! This is our great grandmother Eliza Ellen Johnston nee Nixon, Edwin's wife. She is on the right as you look at the picture. She's with her sister Annabella and they are dressed the same as they are bridesmaids. I have a better picture of this framed so will scan it too when I get it out of the frame. The wedding took place in Fermanagh I believe.

Hello Mick, it's just so amazing to see your posts as I've often thought of my Granny May's family. I will def look those photos out for you. In the photo I believe to be of Samuel he's wearing a sailor uniform with HMS Pembroke on the hat. He is v young, Nell just looks beautiful with long wavy hair. I thought my paperwork was put away in good order but looking it out last night it's not so good! But will sort it out & make sure you have copies of every detail, photo & certificate I have.  :D bye for now take care.

Hello gaffy and many many thanks. Yes indeed this is Edwin John Johnston from Bohevny. I thought he was born around 1864 so this is def him, Apologies - on getting my folder out of storage I see his mother was indeed Elizabeth with the maiden name I have is Forster. The 1901 census shows Edwin had sold the farm Bohevny by 31st March 1901 to a family called Kerr and moved to Belfast. Family legend stated that they intended to go from Belfast to Australia, but his wife Elizabeth Ellen (Eliza) (as you've already recorded here) died 13th April 1907. Though this was over 6 years since they moved from Fermanagh so presume they changed their minds? I know I have details for Eliza's family - the Nixon's back to about 1776 I think.  Thanks again :D

Hello  :) My grandmother was Isabella Dorothy Mary Miller known as May (nee Johnston) -whose father was Edwin Johnston, I have been involved in tracing the family tree for some years. I never been able to find Edwin's parents he is said to have been an only child. But I know where he lived in Fermanagh before moving to Belfast & have seen the house. I can get back quite far re the Fermanagh side & have photos said to be of Samuel, Nell & William Johnston, also one of Eliza Ellen Johnston - Edwin 's wife, my great grandmother (nee Nixon) & her sister Annabella. I will dust my folder off & have a look, delighted to share any info I have.  So great to 'meet' you!  All Charles & May (Miller's) children have now died except my Dad who is 86.
