Johnston Family - Armagh
« on: Wednesday 22 April 15 15:30 BST (UK) »
Dear Reader

I am after finding out as much as possible about The Armagh Johnstons.

I am after any information or contact from a reader who is descended from these Johnstons.
many thanks

Arthur Johnston c1829 - 1902
married Hannah Teresa O'Callaghan

What I am after is ancestors and descendants.  There are so many Johnstons in this part of the world that it is rather confusing.

Thank you for reading

It's even more confusing trying to figure out your posts  :-\

You've posted on the Armagh board asking for help with Armagh Johnstons. After fruitless searching for Arthur & Hannah in Armagh I finally found them in Louth not Armagh-

Probate of the Will of Arthur Johnston late of Lisdoo near Dundalk County Louth Solicitor who died 15 December 1902 granted at Armagh to Hannah Theresa Johnston the Widow.

I then found the family in the 1901 Irish census in Louth with the only mention of Armagh being birthplace of son-in-law Edward-

Arthur was born in England, so why look for his ancestors in Ireland??
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

You were the one who said Arthur died in 1902, I found him in 1901 census (in Louth not Armagh) and if you follow the PRONI Will Extract link then put in Lisdoo under remarks you will see the extract I already posted which gives the exact date then clicking on the image link allows you to read the wording of his Will.

If he was born in England then he obviously didn't always live in Ireland.
