Well, the search was done at Scotlands People and the chp from Bute is most definitely not the correct one, so the search goes on.  The ref no: 785/000059 does not work for some reason???

Could his name have been Robert George?

There is a death  reg for a Robert Gerge Johnston, Duns, 1987. Aged 61
.

Was this death also the wrong one - just so we can "cross it off the list"

Hi CaroleW, I have just ordered this one just this minute.  Im still not convinced it is the right chap, Not sure where the Robert would come from if the headstone quite clearly states George Johnston????  Thanks CaroleW

Not sure if you've done this but it might be worth contacting the Borders council to see what they have for him in their lair books:

Hi Gadget,

Email was sent weeks ago and nobody bothered to reply, just typical!!!

I have another question for anyone able to help"  Robert George Johnston b:1926 d: 1987 is the cert that I ordered, but I am unable to verify this one as it is probably the wrong person, however I would like someone to help me out in case it turns out to be a link to my tree anyway..The informant on this cert is Catherine Isabella, his wife, maiden name is Patterson.. Any help would be gratefully received, and many thanks again for the help..

Could he have died in England? The Border isn't very far away.....
I have a few "died in Northumberland, buried in Berwickshire" people in my One Place Study.
