There appears to be a marriage at the right time and place in the OPR Banns and Marriages on Scotland's People:

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

There is a charge to view this. You can purchase credits and view this online.

Hope it's them. Good luck.

Hi Ecclescake 

If the parents names aren't listed, which is often the case in the parish records, it is possible to find out their parents' names if Robert and Margaret died in Scotland Jan 1855 onwards. Parents's names are usually entered on death certificates. These are also obtained from the Scotlands People website.

Gadget's correct, Scottish death certificates are really useful. There's three Margaret Hogg/Johnstone deaths in the whole of Scotland (ranging from 1863 to 1935), but the only in Dumfriesshire is in 1894. Here's hoping that their children knew their grandparents!

Hi again EC 

Have you got them in any of the censuses and, if so,when do they disappear? It would narrow the search for the deaths significantly if you've followed them through.

I was tempted by your 1894 find, hume 

It is probably the correct one:

December 4th 1894. ?Pleasance Cottage, Dumfries. Aged 77.  Widow of Robert Johnstone, ?Iron fitter. Parents - Thomas Hogg, miller, dec. and Margaret, m.s. Glen, dec.

So Robert died before 1894 

I now know that I'm going around in circles with you, EC

  Hi Gadget,

Thank you for that information.   That one is correct and one of mine.

I have death cert for Robert but no parents name on it.



Many thanks for your help
