and one Margaret Johnston 18 years old, birth date approx 1863.
At this time 2002 we have then to assume that James Johnston was probably married before and these twp girls were issee of that union .. the records indicate that Jessie was born in Scotland.
In 1881 the family was living ay Gipsy Hill, on Highland Road Glenco House, Lambeth, Surrey England. There were in addition to the 8 children, a nurse named Catherine Sutherland (37 yrs old),

Notes from a latter writted in 1971 by Peter J W Kilpatrick. "The closest relative to you are three second cousins ( Mr Kilpatrick is writing to Mrs Douglass in the USA). They are grandchildren of the sister of your Grandfather, Caroline Easton Macfie who married George Barbour of Bolesworth. Mr and Mrs George Barbour had a daughter, Caroline Elizabeth who married George F Barbour Simpson and they had three children now living. The only son Rudolf Barbour Simpson, must be about 70 years old. He is a retired schoolmaster and is married with two or three children I think. He lives near Malvern England. The elder daughter, Caroline W. is the widow of Ian Black. She lives in Edinburgh. She is a great friend of my wife, and was one of my wife's bridesmaids at our wedding. This is beacuse of her friendship with my wife and not because of her relationship with my self. Carol ( as she is usually know) has no children. Thier other daughter is Margaret who married Fred Root. He is now retired but was a civil Servant before retiring. They live in Haslemere in Surrey England. They have two daughters, one of whom married last summer."

An E mail received Sept 20, 2003 contained a letter signed by Peter J W Kilpatrick (who stated he was 66 at the time of writing the letter August 25 1971) He wrote in the letter " You are evidently not in touch with the Macfie relations in this country. I hope you won't be offended by the story that my aunt (aged 88) told me only last month about your grandfather ( reference is here made to Robert Andrew). She said that he went to South America and when there did a thing that was so terrible that his photograph was taken out of all the family photograph albums and he was never mentioned again. Apparently he married a Roman Catholic.

There is much more to Robert Andrew jr, after he sepatated from Pauline, he eventually settled in Puerto Rico, creating a new family with many children, who to this day have established themselves in thier native country of Puerto Rico
