I wonder if this is your chap. There is a Johnston family recorded at Middlestots in the parish of Edrom in the 1841 census. This includes a William Johnston age 14. I cannot see him in 1951 but this could be a family worth exploring. Below is the census entry from Freecen.

I should have added that she may have abandoned him!

It may also suggest ,S.S, that the 1857 article I posted does refer to the Hugh and Jane being looked at. The address on this birth cert is Trimdon. The assault  case was at Castle Eden Sessions which appear to have dealt with cases from Trimdon.

If indeed this is correct it would narrow down the time period to look for Jane's death.

I am also a hint hero! I was interested to see that I have received 1,701 new matches this year - unfortunately I suspect that the vast majority of these are under 20cM!

It was FTDNa that I uploaded my results to. I did this for free but later paid for a report which indicated my haplogroup. Apparently this is the same group as Louis XIV!. Unfortunately the Bell surname group which the report suggested for me only accept membership from those who have taken a full yDNA test.

The ranges are still there on this latest update. They are just not so obviously found! To locate click on the arrow beside the ancestral region. On the next screen there is an information sign beside the name. Click on that and the range is shown ( as is a useful link explaining the use of these ranges). For example in the recent update I have 1% Donegal. The range is from 0% to 3%.

These ranges are well worth looking at.

For the baptism of son William ( 2nd son) in 1805 he is still an innkeeper. For the baptism of daughter Margaret ( 2nd daughter) in 1808 he is a farmer at Lizards. Baptisms are on Freereg.
