I had never found any marriage for Elizabeth and still can't......Frustrating!!
I believe they had 7 children. Two boys appear to have died prior to coming to Australia
I will be honest and state I have not looked at the Johnston's for a number of years for at the time the information was just to hard to obtain. Looks like I need to revisit and see what else I can find out on the Johnston's. But I believe I have a bit on the Australia side (well I suppose I should have as I am a direct descendant of one of James and Elizabeth's children)
Not sure where to go from here though
Elizabeth Addison Johnston
Details from Death Certificate. Died 7 December 1892 7 George St Dunedin aged 59 years of Cancer of both Mamoe. Father James Johnston Bootmaker. She was born in Dundee Scotland and had lived in NZ about 30 years. She was married to Alexander John Crawford at Ballarat Victoria when she was 24 years old. At the time of her death her living children were 4 sons, 34,27,24,22 and 2 daughters 32,29. Elizabeth was buried Waikouaiti Cemetery she was Church of England.
She signed in her own hand as the informant on her daughter Jessie's birth cert in 1860.
Recorded on daughter Jessie's birth cert that Elizabeth was 27 years old in 1860 and was born in Dundee,Scotland.
Records show that Elizabeth Johnston Bond Servant migrated to Australia on the Hornet abt 1885
Recorded on daughter Jessie's birth cert 1860 that Alexander was 28 years old, a miner, born in Glasgow,Scotland.
at the time of Jessie's birth, Alexander & Elizabeth had two living children and one deceased.Jessie was born 1860 at Indigo Creek Ovens Victoria.
However it is uncertain whether Jessie was included as one of the living. The other would be her brother John
Just some bits for you.
My husband is a descendant of Alexander Crawford and Elizabeth Addison Johnston. They would have been his great, great grandparents, so James and Elizabeth Johnston were his great, great, greats.
The marriage date for Alexander Crawford and Elizaqbeth Johnston of 15 June 1857 at Geelong is on the birth record of Jessie who was born on December 8 1860 at Indigo.
Where abouts are you in Australia, my husband has two brotherw ho live there. There are quite a few descendants in New Zealand.
