Hiya Jilly,

The Griffith Valuation extracts on John Hayes website show one Johnston from Newtown was listed when the Valuation took place in Westmeath in 1854.

Fineas Johnston, Tyrrelispass, Ballykilmore Village, Newtown

Thanks again Christopher,  Since my first message I have obtained a marriage cert and it says Robert's father was a William Johnston so I still have not got much to go on.  I have found Fineas but no further references to him. I think this must be some relation, as no other Johnstons' have come to light.
 
Regards
Jill
