Johnstone McVitie was identified via his daughter Ellen McVitie, see her notes for other detail.
"The only information I have on Ellen is She was born in 1848 in Englan
Her father was Johnston McVitie a Millwright and
Mother Agnes Ferguson born 1815 in Kirkcudbright.
Ellen married David 16 March 1871 in Earlston Berwick. THEY WERE COUSINS.
I cam only guess that Ellen's father Johnston was brother to Janet McVitie David's mother."
