Hi Rhonda
Thank you for the information. I have checked both the disc and the online bmd's for Vic and nothing, so no wonder I have never found anything for Elizabeth.

Jane Johnston, is my Great, Great, Grandmother and she was the youngest daughter of James Addison Johnston and Elizabeth Bowman

She married twice and gave birth to 10 children all up.

I am in Adelaide South Australia and if it is okay with you I will send you my email by private message for ongoing discussion.

You have rekindled my interest in the Johnston's as I thought I could not get any further with them at the time (all the other trees may just have to be put on hold for a bit  ::)

I had never found any marriage for Elizabeth and still can't......Frustrating!!

I believe they had 7 children. Two boys appear to have died prior to coming to Australia

I will be honest and state I have not looked at the Johnston's for a number of years for at the time the information was just to hard to obtain. Looks like I need to revisit and see what else I can find out on the Johnston's. But I believe I have a bit on the Australia side (well I suppose I should have as I am a direct descendant of one of James and Elizabeth's children)

Not sure where to go from here though

Hi Rhonda

Could you give me details of the marriage please. Like where they married and his name and the year you believe they married.

Thank you for your reply.

What a pity parents names are not given on the civil registrations

Hi Everyone

On the 1911 Irish census I found my grandfather's brother in Newcastle Ireland with his wife and child (see below)


1911 Irish census
Residents of house number 12 in Main Street (Newcastle, Down)
Ellis Walter 34 Male
Ellis Alice Catherine 32 Female
Ellis Walter Alfred Charles 4 Male


What I need advice on and have absolutely no idea how to find anything in Ireland is:

* Did they have more children
* Did they stay in Ireland
* Did they die in Ireland
* Are they records showing travel between Ireland and UK


I doubt very much that they belong to the Catholic faith.

We have managed to fill in details for every other child of my great grandparents but this one has eluded us for a very long time and  it would be nice to fill in the gaping holes in our tree

Any advice on how to follow through will be greatly appreciated

Thank you for trying to assist.

This is a very old post and I did forget that it was there.

Unfortunately since I posted it, I have found that I was barking up the wrong tree and have since found out my Johnston's were from Dundee Scotland.

Once again I thank all for any assistance.

Hi Ian

Sorry I do not have any David Jenner connected to my family but I would not be surprised if David's father (who I think is Abraham) and Benjamin Jenner are not related somehow .

Benjamin Jenner married my Mary BARTLETT

kind regards
