Thomas Johnston is my great grandfather.
He was born about 1830. He married Susan Beatty (or Beattie) on October 7th 1859 in Aghalurcher, Ferm, Ireland. They had a daughter Anne Jane Johnston on March 12, 1868 in Fivemiletown, Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
That is about all that I have been able to find. Their surnames indicate that they were Ulster Scots and possibly descendants of the Border Rievers in Scotland.

Ireland beats Italy at USA94 World Cup
<p>On this day the Giants Stadium at New Jersey was a sea of Irish tricolours and the scene of great jubilation as Ireland's soccer team beat Italy for the first time. Italy was a favourite to win the tournament and it was expected that they "would play Ireland off the pitch". For Ireland, it was the most glorious outcome imaginable.</p>
