My grandfather, William Johnston born in Workington. His mother Margaret Moffat also born in Workington area. MY family knows NOTHING of family history. Looking at the census reports it sure seems possible that Kames was Margarets father. PLUS why did they leave England for the west coast of Canada? Mining disaster and want to get away? Leave Cumberland and coal ming and move to Cumberland and coal mining on Vancouver Island? My mother knows nothing of her history..Moffat side 1871 and 1881 census has Margaret married to James. Head of household in 1891.

Research interest: Family History. I'm an Argentine immigrant to the United States. My grandmother was Shirley May Moffatt (b. 1925, Argentina), daughter of James Moffatt (b. abt. 1891, Workington, Cumberland, England), son of John Moffatt (b. abt. 1866, Workington), son of James Moffatt (b. abt. 1836 Workington) mentioned on this page. James (1836) and Martha show up in 1861 census in Workington with a one year old son named William (b. ~1860). 1871 census has no mention of William (1860) but shows James and Martha with four children, including a son William T (Taylor? b. abt. 1868). Is it possible that the 4 year old deceased son (William) mentioned on James' gravestone is the first William? Gravestone image provided by Dwight Donaldson. Children of James (1836) settled in Canada (Margaret Ann Moffatt Johnston, b. 1864), and Argentina (John Moffatt, 1866).
