b. circa 1809, d. 11 April 1877
Last Edited: 10 Aug 2016
  • Birth*: Isabella Johnstone was born circa 1809 at Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
  • Marriage*: Isabella Johnstone married Hugh McMillan circa 1825 at Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
  • Married Name: As of circa 1825, her married name was McMillan.

  • Death*: Isabella Johnstone died on 11 April 1877 at Pakington Street, Geelong West, Victoria, Australia, age 68 years. She died of Apoplexy Hemiplegia, Bronchitis (three months 15 days). 32 years in Victoria, born Glasgow, Scotland, married in Glasgow at age 16 years.

    Hugh, dead
    Hugh, dead
    Alexander, dead
    Margaret, dead
    Thomas, 31 yrs
    James, 29 yrs
    William 26 yrs.
    The death certificate gives her parent's names as Hugh McMillan, gentleman and Janet McMillan, maiden name unknown. This is odd, as McMillan was her married name.2
  • Anecdote*: Looking at the map of Geelong West today, there is an Isabella St that crosses Pakington St, and also close by is a McMillan St. This is probably not a coincidence.
