Thank you both for your help ... it is much appreciated. Yes, to the last message, it is my site. Lots of information about Dr HMJ, he was quite a character, but unfortunately no one in the family knows where he is buried exactly ...

Hello everyone !
I hope to be able to get to Stranorlar next week and would like to find graves of this Johnston family.
Dr HMJ died in 1932. His son Victor is probably buried in Stranorlar too. I know the family was Church of Ireland but they may have attended the presbyterian church too... How many graveyards are there in Stranorlar ? I would really appreciate any help so that when I get there, I know where to look !!!

That is a bit odd... The Edmund Johnston is the right one, thanks to parents names, Benjamin & Catherine Johnston.

Many thanks for those directory addresses.
Would there be any hope at all of finding Edmund's marriage ?

Hello everyone !
My great great uncle, Edmund Johnston, was born in Rathdrum, Co Wicklow, Ireland in 1818. He died in January 1882 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois and is seemingly buried in Forest https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N7HB-LXQe Cemetery.
The document indicates that he was married - I haven't been able to find any details at all.
I did find an Edmund Johnston, aged 19, Agent, born Ireland, on his way to Canada with a stop in New York travelling on ss George Washington on 28th August 1837. The dates would fit ...
Also, I found an Edmund Johnston born abt 1845 in Illinois, who could be a son, married to a Martha Boone. Issue : 4 children , youngest of whom is another Edmund.
I would be very grateful of any help, as the above just may be a lot of coincidences !
A thousand thanks in advance, Liz

Sorry Sue, I hadn't read your post properly, and didn't realise that the daughter had died ... my mistake 
I'll now look for F & H's passage back home - many thanks again for all your help.

Sue, Thank you so much for everything you have posted ... I have found death of a Frederick Wybrants , Leinster Rd , Rathmines, Dublin in 1897, although he is aged 78, which is a bit much ... when he left for Australia in 1853 he was 26 ! I wonder if it is the same person.
If he died in Ireland too, then perhaps Harriet came back with him.
Her will doesn't seem to mention her daughter.
This ancestor game always has so many questions ! Thanks a million again
