In a fit of desperation tonight I downloaded six death certificates from ScotlandsPeople for John Johnston(e) in hopes of finding my 3x great grandfather. Of course the very last one was the one for me, and not a case of 'it's the last one because I stopped searching' it was literally the last one
Anyway, if you want the death certificate for the following just send me a PM. Hope it's okay to post them in one go, I didn't want to flood the board with five separate entries.
