Johnston - Cavan Town
« on: Saturday 04 March 06 23:40 UTC (UK) »
My grandfather Robert Johnston was born in 1874 and immigrated to the US in 1894.  He lived in Cavan Town and I have been told that he had brothers that served in the Queen's Guard.   His Mother's name was Jane Clarke and I think his Father's name was George. If anyone has information on any Johnstons in Cavan please help me out.  I will be visiting Cavan in July and would like to have some information before I get there.   Thanks.

I do not have his birth certificate, but hope to get it when I am in Ireland in July.  His marriage license from Pennsylvania says his birth date is March 19, 1874, and born in Cavan Ireland.   Somewhere in my research I found that he was from Cavan Town.  My grandmother Margaret Wilson was born on July 4, 1877 also in Cavan.  She immigrated with her family to Philadelphia, Pa in 1893.
He came alone (I think) in 1894.  I think they knew each other before coming to the United States.
Thanks for posting.  I would appreciate any help you can give me.   Pat
