Thank you Grimason. I did find a birth for both of the Johns as well as the death and marriage of John McKinlay Johnston in Scotland. I also found him in the 1901 Census in Glasgow, living with his father, grandmother, sister Jean, brother William, as well as his aunt and cousins.
I can find nothing more on John Grimason, except his birth in Toronto in 1908. I have found no marriage, nor death. What makes me very curious, is the fact that his mother Lillian and father Samuel attempted to cross the border into the U.S., but he was no where to be found. Also, in 1921, Lillian and Samuel are living in Manitoba, without John. He just seems to vanish, unless of course he was adopted out, or possibly living with relatives, but can't find him anywhere.
Are you by any chance related to this line? If you are, I would love to share information.
