I could'nt find a birth/baptism for a Johnston, I think John James is him, as for the age difference, it all down to who fill in the census, in this case his father, so he may not of known his birth year and guessed it, it happens alot, back then people had little to no education, unless they came from a weathly family. Bessie is a pet name for Elizabeth. |

...then again, he can't have been 13 in 1901 and 20 in 1911?! Maybe 1911 should read 23? |

Just to verify - I know Eliza Jane CROMPTONs parents were James & Mary (nee ROBB) and that she was living in Derrygoon at the time of their marriage. How would I find details of James & Mary's marriage? I can't seem to find them in 1901 Census. |

This might be the daughter Rose's birth. It doesn't give parents' names, but date and place are likely: |

Got excited thinking I would find the other side as well, the LINDSAYs from Strabane, Tyrone but no such luck! They are hiding :-) Andrew b. c1887 & wife Eliza Jane b. c1884, they married in Jan 1909 and should have had son Wm (b. 1909) with them...? Any helpers please |
