Hi Harriet
Just wondering, do you have Elizabeth's father as a Robert JOHNSTONE from her marriage cert 19 Sept 1852? Also, if her first daughter was Agnes (born 9 Sept 1852 before the marriage?), by naming patterns, if adhered to, this would be after Richard's mother - do you have his parent's names?  THe IGI birth you found for Elizabeth with a mother named Elizabeth HUNTER was for 1837 - how certain are you she was born 1835?

Have you tried to locate her on the 1841 or 1851 Census for Peebles? Shame Peebles isn't up on FREECEN yet  Sad

Admittedly it's a good few years later, but a check of the 1881 Scottish Census reveals no Johnson or Johnstone in Traquair at Census; lots of Burns' though, and there are 3 other JOHNSTONE females - all   daughters born in Traquair 1858-1869 but elsewhere (ROX & SEL) at Census - their fathers were born in Lyne Peebles. This makes me think Elizabeth was not from Traquair at least but it's just a wild think, could be way off beam Grin

Not much help, sorry, but I was just passing by and thought I'd put in my tuppence worth Grin
Cheers
Anne

Hi Anne thanks for that in genealogy any ideas are worth looking at i know now her parents were not Robert Johnstone & Elizabeth Hunter the scottish naming patterns i have always gone by is Eldest son after paternal grandfather second son after maternal grandfather the 3rd son after father Eldest daughter after the maternal grandmother 2nd daughter paternal and 3rd after the mother therefore Elizabeth johnstone's mother would have been Agnes the certificate i got was only the Banns for their wedding stating they were both from the Parish of Traquair but that could mean they had only lived ther for a few months or so going by her death cert she would have been born in 1835 yes it will be great when Peebles is on freecen once again thank you for taking the time it has stired my interest in her again Harriet Roll Eyes
