Thank you

Dublin / Re: Marriage Robert Johnston, 1866, Dublin
« on: Tuesday 30 April 24 02:37 BST (UK) »
Robert’s son Edward Robinson Johnston married Martha Wilkinson in 1917 in Glasgow and they emigrated in1924 to Illinois, to join Edward’s brother William Alex. Johnston in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. I can’t find William at any time, not at birth, Not in Illinois in 1924 or later. Edward was born in Manorhamilton in 1873 and his brother James Harper Bowens Johnston was born 1870 in Manorhamilton, Ireland. Can anyone find William.?
Here is the emigration of Edward in 1924 showing his destination.

Tyrone / Re: death and obit Brenda Buick, Mar 17, 1988

Hello ..hey. I was not informed that I had a reply from you. I have sent you a private message as well as this message. I have that Brenda‘s father died July 27, 1998 in Portadown. Would that be correct?
I have that Brenda’s brother Ronald died April 27, 2022, and that she had three other siblings still living at that time.
The big mystery is what happened to Brenda‘s aunt Eveline Elizabeth Buick born January 19, 1920 in Derrychrin. I believe that she survived at least a couple years but may have been adopted when her mother died.
Thank you for any help that you may be able to give.

I would like to think Neale1961 and bbart for all their help with regard to Martha Johnston. I tried to find the marriage of Edward Seabury and Martha in 1908 but I can’t get it to come up. I was looking for her parents. So I went to the 1901 census in Scotland looking for a Martha from Rutherglen. I found only one and she was the correct age, and her mother was Elizabeth, father was Adam. So I am thinking this is the one who married Edward Seabury.

Since Robert and Rebecca Jane’s son Edward Robinson Johnston married in Glasgow in 1917, I looked for Edward in 1891 in Glasgow and found him age 17 with his remarried mother Rebecca Jane O’Grady, her husband, Patrick, and a stepbrother Michael O’Grady born in Scotland about 1884 since he was age 7. Edward had a brother James Harper Johnston, looks like age 21. So then I found the birth of James Harper Bowens Johnston in 1870 in Manorhamilton, parents Robert Johnston and Rebecca Robinson.

That means that Robert Johnston would’ve died before 1884.
Since Robert‘s first marriage was in Manorhamilton, I looked for his death there (after I checked Dublin) and I did find one of the right age using his age at his first marriage which was born abt 1838 and I did find one in 1880, age 42, but he was a hotel keeper. So is it him?

But then I found Rebecca Jane’s remarriage in Glasgow in 1882 to Patrick O’Grady. She was age 30 (impossible since son Edward was born 1873 in Manorhamilton and Rebecca was full age when she married Robert Johnston in 1866 meaning born before 1845 so Rebecca was at least 37 in 1882) from Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim, and her parents were Robert Robinson, Hotel keeper, and Susan McClure, both deceased. Rebecca’s father was Robert Robinson as per her marriage to Robert Johnston although her father was a farmer in 1866.
So I think I did find the correct death of Robert Johnston in 1880 and the correct remarriage of Rebecca Jane in 1882.

You are amazing, dublin1850. Thank you so much. Despite the difference in occupation for Robert’s father between marriages, I feel this is likely correct. Thinking Mary died in childbirth or as a result of. She died second quarter of 1864 and Thomas is born in June 1864.
Marriage witnesses in both cases are Robinsons.

Thanks KG. I read the article on Wikipedia about the village of Ballyfarnon. Very interesting article about a historical village.
I spent some time last night trying to find Robert’s first wife, but it may have been before 1845.

Thank you so very, very much, Neale1961 and Sinann. That writing had me stumped. I presume 4 Hamilton Row is in Dublin.
I also couldn't make out the parish of St.Mark.
