Ive just looked up my book  "An Old Berwickshire Town"  and your ancestor  James Johnstone is mentioned in it.   "  the last of the handloom weaving industry in Greenlaw was represented by James Johnston and Robert Hume.  The former died in 1855, the latter in 1860"

1855 is the best year for Certificates.  lots of information on it.

I haven't found any of my Goodfellow in Jedburgh.   They were born, died in the Maxton, Makerstoun Area.   My Gt Grandfather was John Goodfellow m. Hannah Johnstone.  His Father was William Goodfellow  m   Jane Hunter  who was son of John Goodfellow m.  Ann Swanston.   

I came to a dead end with John G. m  Ann Swanston.    He was born in Bowden, Roxburghshire but cannot find a birth on the IGI.
