One of the children born to William Clazy and Isabelle Purvis had the middle name of Johnstone...her first name was Jane.  I always thought it might be a maiden name from mother's family.

I also have an Eleanor Craig who married James Oswald Clazey in 1870.  Her family though may have been from Burnt Island.

I do not know if this will help...William Clazy and Isabelle Purvis named their oldest daughter, Jane Johnstone Clazy.  She was baptised October 1819, Coldstream.  I have always wondered at her middle name...assumed it was a family name from some line.  This family moved a bit...

a wee look at the igi's suggest that william dickson married margaret burnet at ladykirk, on the 16th june 1822.

a further check says that margaret burnet was the daughter of robert burnet and elizabeth logan and that she was christened 24th nov 1804 ladykirk.

a wee check of the census says

1841 census; hutton hall barnes cottages

robert...age 71...ag labourer
elizabeth...age 68

both born berwick

1851 census; hutton hall barnes cottages

robert...age 81...ag labourer...born eccles
elizabeth...age 77...born ladykirk
