Robert Johnston at Burslem Staffordshire 1851
« on: Sunday 28 January 07 23:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I  am looking for details of my G.G. Grandfather Robert Johnston  He was born in Manchester 1829 I feel I may have found reference to him at Burslem in Staffordshire in the 1851 Census report. I know he was in the army at some stage I remember years and years ago seeing an old sepia print of two soldiers and being told it was my fathers grandfather!! He would have been out by 1861 as he married in London. What was at Burslem? Where might I find more details of servicemen of this period? Would he have been involved in a campaign at that time?
