As additonal info, the Johnston*s in 1891:

George Johnston 29 Drapers Assistant b. Crumstane Duns, Berwickshire
Jane Johnston 26 b. Georgia (?), Edinburghshire
Anne B R Johnston 6 b. Edinburgh
John Johnston 4 b. Edinburgh
Ellen H Johnston 3 b. Penicuik, Edinburghshire

Address:22 Dean Park St, Edinburgh

Still unclear as to what the connections to Charles Edward may be...

Hello Monica,

I am waiting for Charles' death certificate to arrive, but I have some doubt if that will take us any further as I would think the person registering the event would be connected with the hospital rather than a family member.

I wonder if Millicent Brownie married a Galloway?

Not Galloway, but there is a possible death on SP, outside of when you can view and would need to be ordered:

2000 Millicent Brownie other name KNEBLOCH. Died in Stirling, aged 93.

Does this fit with Millicent's birth year?

Some connection then for the family with Stirling in later years. What happened to Millicent's mother, Mary Grant McBain?

Millicent looks to have married in 1949 in Stirling. First name of groom not clear from Index: CHES SIMON, KNEBLOCH.

Again, a cert that would need to be ordered for further info.

The London Gazzette 1949

Knebloch, Czesla (know as Ches Simon Knebloch). Poland, Mining and Drilling engineer. 52 Barnton Street Stirling

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/38718/page/4501/data.pdf

Maybe the connection is simply friends/neighbours sharing an accomodation address?

Monica

Added: That 1949 date looks to be date of the issue of the naturalisation certificate for Ches Simon Knebloch, see http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r/9?_q=CHES%208&_ps=30&_hb=tna

Monica that is excellent!  At least we know that there is a connection between the family and 52 Barnton Street, Stirling.

I have discovered an individual on Ancestry (private tree) who appears to be the grandson of Charles Snr., I have sent him a message and hope that he replies.  I will keep you posted.

Mark, just seen reference to the private tree you mention. How exciting if you are able to make direct contact. Think this tree contains photographs etc.  :)

Mark, just because we get curious  ::) You are full of energy and enthusiam on this search. Is this a direct line for you? You have obviously a lot of material gathered already. Just wondered on your connection just out of interest.
