1851 census help re Nicholas Johnstone

[Jenny1]

I'm trying to find Nicholas Johnstone (female) born between 1804-1813 in Kirkmichael. I have found her as a widow on the following censuses 1861/71/81/91 living at Nethermill, Moffat with her extended family. I would like to know who her husband was if possible and any other relevant information as I am fairly new to Scottish research.

I think she died in 1892 but haven't been able to locate a grave.

Many thanks

Hi Jenny ,

That 1892 death has the other surname as GILLESPIE

 Thank you for that information. I have used all my credits on Scotland's People so couldn't see any details. How did you manage to find GILLESPIE ?

Hi Rosie

thank you so much for finding them, I really appreciate it. Can't believe when I searched it didn't bring JOHNSTON up. Will know to use wildcard in future. At least that has got me back another generation. Finding it really difficult with Scottish research as I said earlier. I am doing this for a friend (for her mum who doesn't know) so we can't ask her any questions!

Thanks again

Jenny
