I'm looking for info on Johnston SMITH born 1865 Anstruther Easter, Fife Scotland. His father was William SMITH 1838-1922, his mother was Janet SMITH 1843-1926 m.s. BAYNE or BALFOUR.

His siblings were: Margaret, Alexander, Wilhemina, David, Jessie, William & Jeanie.

Johnston SMITH is listed as a cabinet maker's apprentice aged 15 in the 1881 census. After that I can't see him in the census records in Scotland, nor in the deaths or marriages in Scotland.
