Hi Keyboard,
Thanks for fantastic info, yes this is my family,  going to have a good look now. I knew Elizabeth Jardine had a sister called Helen and did find a Coulthard connection but this is brilliant and will help me put the puzzle together .

Many, Many Thanks

No problem, looking at the pob/yob of Helen Colthart and the fact Elizabeth is shown as Niece it could be Helen is the sister of Elizabeth Carruthers, Elizabeth Johnston's Hellen was aged 14 in 1841?

Hi Keyboard.

This is Joseph Jardine as a baby visiting with his Mother, she would have been 26yrs  in that census. Joe did have a sister Elizabeth but she was younger, so looks like Elizabeth showing off her new baby to her family, will look into it more.

Yours gratefully Poets Girl . P.S. I am giving that site you suggested a go , once I find my way around it !

Hi Keyboard86,

Good job, and thanks again. Regarding past info George Johnstone did marry Elizabeth Carruthers at St Mary's Blackburn, you were correct. The witnesses were Mary and Henry Birnie, well I found that Elizabeth Fathers, father was Robert Carruthers too and he married Agnes Birny (same name spelt differently) so connection made . I have loads to do to sort this lot out , but have many more relatives in Blackburn to track down !

High Five, from Poets Girl
