 I believe his parents were gentry from Ireland " on tour " but returned home soon after his birth.

Thank you for the link, most helpful

According to this Arthur Johnston's wife was Hannah Theresa O'Callaghan- do you have their marriage record to see his father's name and occupation?

You're saying you have everything and Aghadowey has used time to find stuff you don't have plus repeated posts and stuff you haven't looked for.. you have him in Armagh when Aghadowey found him in Louth..

They may have been gentry on tour BUT the father was born in England so his birth/baptism is probably in England not in Ireland.. Find birth/baptism in England and see who father was.
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Arthur would have been born before birth registration in England and it may be difficult to find a baptism if you don't have a more exact location than 'England' but his marriage certificate is likely to list the name and occupation of his father.

Welcome to Rootschat, Dundalk4. There might be some information you hadn't seen before on this thread (and probably more available online since it was started). Do let us know if we can help you  :)
