George JOHNSTON in Llandogo, Coleford, Monmouth (General)
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and am hoping that somebody may be able to help me.
I'm researching a relative of mine:
George JOHNSTON, Born London 1805, Died Paris 1881.
He was a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the service of the East India Company.
His probate entry descibes him as: 'Late of 102 Rue du Faubourg, St. Honore, Paris and Llandogo, Coleford in the County of Monmouth.
This is the first time that there has been a mention of a Welsh connection and I am assuming that he came to the area between his retirement from the East India Company in 1853 and his death in 1881.
Prior to that he had been in India since 1825. The only other information I have is that he was born in London and his Father was a Charles JOHNSTON 'of Dublin'.
If anybody can help to shed some light on this for me with any information on George in Llandogo, I'd be very grateful.
Hope to hear from you
kind regards
Pete
