  • Notes 
    • Robert Johnston
      Son of William Johnston and Sarah Furness nee King
      William's military record lists a son, Robert, born 12 Dec 1918
      However, there is no BMD record for such a birth.
      William and Sarah had a daughter, Margaret Isabella, on 15 Dec 1918
      This means that Robert would have to be a twin and there is no record of this.
      My feeling is that the 'Robert' party of the entry in William's military record is wrong.
