East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Johnston/Reid/Keppie families, Tranent
« on: Friday 23 March 07 20:14 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon Tricia;
I will try to get in a few hours of digging into the Johnston family line in Tranent in the next few days.
My maternal grandmother was Mary Johnstone Peden from Cockenzie. She arrived here in British Columbia in 1889 when a group of fishermen, including her father, were brought out here from Tranent in order to establish the West Coast commercial salmon fishery. Many of these fishermen were related through marriage over many generations, and trying to sort out the relationships can be frustrating. For example, Robert Grieg Peden married Sophia Hope Johnstone Reid. Two of his uncles married Johnstone girls as well. One of the uncles was my GG Grandfather.
I'll keep you informed of any progress in this line as well as anything I find on the Reids and the Hopes
All the best,
John
