... We know he had an uncle Edward Johnston who married Ellen Gregg, and they had a daughter Sarah aka Sally, who emigrated to America. Any help would be greatly appreciated ...

A US social security index entry exists for a Sarah Cook born 1923 in Belfast, died 3 April 2007, parents listed as Edward Johnston and Ellen Gregg, the same person was naturalised in Lubbock, Texas in 1950, having previously married Texan-born (Claude) William Cook in Belfast on 7 August 1943 and flown to Fort Fairfield, Maine, in 1946.  Claude William Cook and Sarah Johnston had a daughter Linda Ellen in 1948. Sarah's parents Edward Johnston and Ellen Gregg were married in Belfast on 12 October 1922.

Hello :)

If the following 1910 marriage is a possibility ...

Cheers, Dot. I always think it might be worth applying to people like this, for they've obviously some very human qualities. They looked like lovely, right-minded people. I loved the way the woman said she could take anyone out who might try to rob her. Good for her, the pillocks will think twice.

Hello, we are looking for the family of John Johnston born in Belfast in 1913 to John Johnston and Mary nee Johnston. He came to England before 1936 when he married Ivy Thompson in West Ham, London. He was an engineer by trade as was his father. His parents lived at 72 Orkney Street in 1913. We know he had an uncle Edward Johnston who married Ellen Gregg, and they had a daughter Sarah aka Sally, who emigrated to America. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone who knows there wherabouts of those fabulously wealthy people in Moira who have just won millions, please let me know on P.M., as I'd like to write to them to see if they would buy and renovate Depot Terrace and save it from oblivion. I believe they were prepared to give out money to good causes, and maybe they might be struck by the plight of the shore Road and the loss of its heritage. I'm sure they might earn themselves a title on account of good works some time in the future. They look the type.  :hi:

that would be one splendid gesture Dargan        .       :)

Perhaps I may be accused of going off topic-fair enough-but to my mind all the
`subjects`in the same context are really just related.
Just a personal opinion as per usual.
