Thanks for reply in to my post. Sorry I should of given abit more information on this family. I have already found the family in on the 1841, 1851 & 1861 census records.

That is them above in 1841, in 1851 Census they live at 9 Justice lane Aberdeen Andrew is aged 50, Elizabeth is 40 and their children are Andrew 15 Elizabeth 10 Francis 8 and Grace 1. in 1861 they are still Aberdeen in 1861 by this time elizabeth has died (not found death as of yet) Andrew is 66 and the children stating with him are Elizabeth 19, Francis 17 and Grace 12.

I can't find anything about Andrew after this date but I found both Grace and Elizabeth staying in Dundee in 1871, Grace married a William Watson in 1871 and is on the 1881 census with William in Dundee along with Jessie 3 and twins Elizabeth and William aged 7 months. Grace Died in 1884 in Dundee the informant was her sister Elizabeth.

         Hi Paul,
              Just came across your add for information on the "Johnston " family and was wondering if you happen to have any information on Catherine Johnston, who married  John Drummond in the mid 1800s.
               John was born in England, but has family ties to Scotland.
                I have no information on the " Johnstons " as yet. Hoping you or someone else can help me.
                         Thanks.....Dru.
