There are a couple dozen Johnston's buried in Bluevale Cemetery, including a George and Margaret. I only have the index, not dates.

George Johnston was my gg-grandfather through his son, John; John's son, George Edgar; and George's daughter, Enid. I have information tracing the Johnstons and Sandersons back to Ireland about 1800. I have not authenticated this. I have the location of George's burial and the transcription from his tomb stone. I intend to go to Bluevale this year to do research. The library there has some books on the Johnston family. I will be more than happy to share or exchange what information I have or find.

I too have Johnstons in Bluevale, and I was wondering if they were connected?
Isabella CRAIG (1838 - 1906) married James JOHNSTON (1824 Ireland - 1872). James is buried in Bluevale cemetery. In the 1871 census he was a hotel keeper in Turnberry twp.
Isabella & James had 7 children:
William, b. abt 1859 - in Chicago in 1906
John, b. abt 1861 - married Elizabeth GEDDES in 1884
Thomas, 1863 - 1914, buried in Maitland cemetery, Goderich
Mary, b. 1866 in Bluevale, married Ben SAULTS of Goderich
Hugh, b. abt 1868 - in 1906 he was in Tacoma, in 1914 in Saskatchewan
Isabella, b. abt 1870
Elizabeth, b. abt 1871 - unmarried in 1897

Thanks

Mary

The people and dates don't seem to match up with names with the Johnston's that I'm looking for in the Morris Twp / Bluevale area, unless James b. in 1824 Ire - is a brother to my ggg-grandfather.

Do you know if James (from Ireland) had any siblings?

I looked at the OGS records for Bluevale cemetary and this was one of the 2 Johnston names that didn't seem to fit into my family tree.
The tombstone transcript reads his death as Aug 9 1872 age 45 years, beloved wife of Isabella Johnston

George Johnston and my gggrandmother Agnes were brother and sister. As well Agnes m. Robert Sanderson brother of Margaret. Our lines definitely cross. Maybe we can share some information. Sally

Do you know who George & Agnes's father and mother are? That's where the confusion starts from all the information that I have.

Just email directly if you want at my noted email address. Maybe you can help me out with some other names that I seem to have issues with.
