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  ::)

Hi Happy to stay in touch, it is very interesting once you get a lead and hard to let it go.  It is also great to find relations, and to know where the family has gone in its journey, which is part of the reason we embark on this journey. A neice and nephew of your gggrandmother Jane returned to Australia from New Zealand and lived mainly in Perth.  Unfortunately the neice never married, she came with her brother who had two daughters who never married, they all died in Perth.  However the two daughters Vida Ida and Hazel Crawford were very musical and apppeared in quite a lot of the old papers in the area.  The nephew William Hogan Crawford was in kalgoolie for a while and had some money difficulties.  I am a journalist by trade and find it interesting to try and put the stories together to find out about the people.
Rhonda Wood,  I am also on facebook.
