Looking for some help - cannot find year of death
« on: Thursday 11 February 21 17:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

Was wondering if someone could help me. I have a subscription to MyHeritage but cannot find the death dates of
Mary Johnstone born Green in 1871
Samuel Johnstone 1863

They are my great-great grandparents

Info I have is that they were both born in County Antrim
Their children are called Samuel, Hannah (known as Maggie), Agnes, William, Mary, Annie, Hugh, and Robert.

Their first 4 children were born in Glasgow, Scotland with the rest being born Belfast.

Last piece of info I have about them is they were on a census in Belfast in 1911 at  Carew Street, Victoria, Down so can only presume they would have died in Antrim. I cannot find any record.

I have Mary Johnstone born Green's parents information - Thomas Green (1835-1929) and Eliza Ellen Green born McGrath (1844 - ?)

I have no information about Samuel's parents

I feel like I'm stuck! any info on them and their parents would be amazing or any advice on where to look - I've tried all the usual avenues.

A possibility in the Belfast Telegraph, 11 December 1944
OCR text only for me, but I guess the mangled names are Hugh and Mary
JOHNSTONE—December 10, 1944, at his residence. 14 Chamberlain Street. Henn (Hugh), dearly-loved youngest son of Ma(ry) and late SAMUEL JOHNSTONE. Funeral to Dundonald Cemetery to-morrow (Tuesday,. at 3.30 p.m. Deeply regretted by his loving Mother, Brothers, Sisters,  Brothers-in-law, Sisters-In-law, Uncles, Aunts, Nieces and Nephews. He carried his cross with a smile.

Hugh Johnstone, age 36
Buried Dundonald Cemetery, 12 Dec 1944
In same grave is Mary Jane Johnstone, buried 3 Sep 1953, age 85. Died 1 Sep.
Address for both 14 Chamberlain St Belfast.

All getting a bit confusing (at least for me!)

thank you so much for your help - I'm just trying to find out what I can - not sure why I'm finding this branch of the tree so difficult
