Gordon,

Thanks for that.  Are you finding at least some of the answers you wanted in this?

David Kidd Johnston was my Grandfather's brother, but the material I have showed nothing on him.

If you want more re my Father's generation, let me know anytime.

Hi Kathleen,

Yes I think I have got the wrong Agnes Rea. If she WAS born in 1783 then I should have realised the she would not still be bearding children (George in 1841) at the age of 58.

David Kidd Johnston was also my grandfathers older brother

Yes, any info you have on your fathers generation will be extremely helpful

Thanks for the info

Cheers

Gordon
