Johnston Family Hilden
« on: Thursday 18 October 18 23:17 BST (UK) »
Hello, I was wonder if anyone on here would have any information regarding the Johnston family, who lived in Hilden in the 1930-40s.
My grandfather had attended Hilden school and had befriended James, Billy and Sammy but has not heard of them for around 70 years.
I was wondering if anyone here knows what has happened to them, or what they have gotten up to since.
Any information is appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat but this isn't a forum for tracing lost friends or living relatives.

The school closed in 2008 but several mentions online-
