John Johnston deaths, Co. Fermanagh
« on: Tuesday 25 March 25 18:51 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have been researching two John Johnstons from Co. Fermanagh, both of whom had father John.
One was John Johnston who married Anne Chittick Aug 16, 1877 and my research indicates that his parents were John Johnston and Bessie Morrow. This John died Nov 23, 1929 in Muckross as per Proni. Would anyone have a write up or obituary or other information about his death and/or his family. In 1911, he had had 7 children, 6 living, the youngest of which was Francis in 1891. I don't know the date of death of his wife Anne but it was after 1911.
The other John Johnston was born abt 1864 although I don't have his birth record. His father was John as per his marriage record in 1884 to Rebecca Chittick. This John died Mar 10, 1940 in Drumcurren, Kesh, Co. Fermanagh as per Proni. I don't know the date of death of Rebecca whose father was George. I am looking for more information about John such as which children were still living at the time of his death. I believe son George lived until May 18, 1979 but don't know about the others, of whom I have Maggie Jane, John, and Mary.
thanks for any help with these two John Johnstons. Peggy

Have you searched the Civil Registration (GRO) records prior to partition (1921)?

I have learned that Rebecca Johnston nee Chittick died 18 years before her husband so abt 1922 although I haven’t found her death record.

I would say that can’t be her since she died before John so wouldn’t be a widow in 1921.

I checked that one out as well and she was also a widow in 1926 so not her.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks KG. This definitely proves that this is the wrong family for Rebecca. She should still be married to her husband John in 1911.
