Robert Johnston & Margaret Imlah
« on: Friday 03 September 10 19:01 BST (UK) »
Robert Johnston my gt.gt. uncle married Margaret Imlah or McRobb on 27/11/1875 in Monquitter, Aberdeen. Robert was born 18/06/1842 Monquhitter and Margaret was born 14/06/1857 King Edward, Aberdeen. I have their marriage certificate but cannot find them on any census after, would love any information on them.

Hi.

Alexander Imlah, Margaret's father, married Louisa Duff Mitchell in 1859. Louisa's parents emigrated to Oregon and Alexander Imlah went with them. I suspect Robert Johnston and Margaret Imlah went too. I have an enormous amount of information (and many frustrating gaps!) about the Imlay/Imlah family to which Margaret belonged. She was the daughter of Alexander Imlah, the son of James Imlah, the son of Alexander Imlah, the son of John Imlay, the son of Alexander Imlay (born 1688), the son of John Imlay.
My own branch kept the spelling Imlay, others varied it from one to the other or started using Imlah all the time.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help you further.

Graham.

I have some history of Alexander Imlah and Louisa Duff Mitchell. According to the family record I have, 8 children are listed but not a Margaret Imlah.

The couple come to Oregon in 1871 and settled in the Willamette Valley. Five of their eight children were born at Woodside Delgaty, Aberdeenshire.

Louisa Duff Mitchell was the daughter of David Mitchell and Isabelle Grieve Mitchell. Louisa was born 1 February 1839 at Woodside Delgaty.

Hi, I note that Robert's father died in 1890 at Westfield,Cairncake, Monquhitter. His will is available to download in scotlandspeople. It may mention his son Robert & his address.
