Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Johnston was educated at University of Glasgow, acquired a fortune by his marriage in 1830, and devoted himself to studying chemistry. He visited the chemist J. J. Berzelius in Sweden and was a co-founder of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He was appointed reader in Chemistry and Mineralogy at Durham University on its foundation in 1833, but continued to reside in Edinburgh out of term. He wrote the Catechism of Agricultural Chemistry (1844), since translated into most European languages, and the Chemistry of Common Life (1853–1855). From 1847, his assistant was Augustus Voelcker who also lectured in agricultural chemistry at Durham University. Johnston died in Durham on 18 September 1855.
Johnston formed a grammar school in Durham in 1825, which later merged with other local schools, such as Brandon and Bowburn, to form a single comprehensive school for the area, named Durham Johnston Comprehensive School, preserving James Finlay Weir Johnston's name.
James F. Finlay was a Scottish rugby union player.
He was capped four times for Scotland between 1871–75, including the first ever international. He also played for Edinburgh Academicals.
He was the brother of Arthur Finlay and Ninian Finlay who were also capped for Scotland. They all appeared together once in 1875, in the 0-0 draw against England at Raeburn Place: James winning the last of his four caps, while Arthur and Ninian gained their first caps.

Fly over Sunderland Bridge - The Village
Sunderland Bridge is a village in the civil parish of Croxdale and Hett, in the County Durham district, in the ceremonial county of Durham, England. It is about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Durham city.[1] In 1961 the parish had a population of 907.[2]
The village takes its name from a grade I listed bridge just outside the village. Sunderland meaning sundered or separated land, in this case parish lands separated from the parish of St Oswald's in Durham City, by the River Wear. [3] The village is home to St Bartholomew's Church, a Victorian church built between 1843 and 1846 (by George Pickering) and extended between 1876 and 1878 (by C.H. Fowler), with the addition of a new nave and chancel. The church was built to serve the new settlement of Croxdale Colliery which had rapidly developed l...

The church was built to serve the new settlement of Croxdale Colliery which had rapidly developed less than half a mile south of the village to house workers for the new mine workings in the area (now simply known as Croxdale). The land for the church was given by the Salvin family of nearby Croxdale Hall in exchange for the old chapel on the Croxdale estate. The churchyard is the resting place of James Finlay Weir Johnston the founding father of Durham Johnston School in near by Durham.

The Scottish Clan System and YOUR Clan Origins: Clan Gibson, Weir, MacMillan, Wallace and More…
The Scottish clan system was a defining feature of political and social organisation in Scotland for centuries, with feuds and warfare between clans was pretty common down through Scottish history. The word "clan" itself means family or children in Gaelic, with clan chiefs themselves being almost as powerful as kings in their local area at various points in history.
In my video on the Foreign Origins of Scottish Clans, I asked yourselves to get in the comments below on your clans origins, and today I want to review your clan origins.
The first clan we will look at today is Clan Gibson, but feel free to skip forward to your clan via the chapters below. Clan Gibson: Gibson is thought to be derived from ‘Gib’ or ‘Gibb’, shortened forms of the popular Middle Ages personal name ‘Gilbert,’ with the surname Gibson meaning the ‘son of Gib/Gibb.’ In Scotland, there is a record of a Gibsoun of Rothesay, on the Isle of Bute, in the ninth century.
One theory suggests that the Gibson’s came from Irish tribes who first settled on Scotland’s western seaboard, particularly Argyll, from about 500 A.D. Gibson is considered to be a sub-branch of Clan Buchanan. Clan Buchanan and their kinsfolk, including the Gibson’s, fought for the cause of Scottish independence at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
In England, it took the form of Giselbert which was popularized by the Normans after 1066, composed of the Germanic elements Gisil, meaning "hostage" or "noble youth", and berht, meaning "bright" or "famous".
Clan Wallace bears the name of probably the most famous figure in Scottish history, but what are Clan Wallace’s origins. Wallace may come from a corruption of Le Waleis, meaning the Welshman. The name Wallace first appears in the historical record in the 12th century, after Walter Fitz Alan, a baron of Breton origins in France, became the Steward of Scotland under King David I. Although Walter himself was a founder of the Stewart clan, a follower of Walter came north from Oswestry, a town in England near the Welsh border. His name was Richard Wallace.
Clan MacIver: The exact origins of Clan MacIver are not clear, but it thought that MacIver is an anglicisation of a Gaelic name meaning son of Ivarr, and Old Norse name. The MacIver’s are considered septs or branches of larger clans such as the Campbells and Mackenzie’s.
Clan Sweeney is an Irish clan of Scottish origins, and they are thought to have moved into Ireland around the 14th century as Gallowglass soldiers, elite groups of Norse-Gael mercenaries who settled in Ireland.
The origins of Clan McKinley are a little unclear, but is it associated with County Donegal in Ireland. It is thought to mean the son of Finlay in Scotland, although there does seem to be an association with physicians also.
There are at least 3 possible origins of clan Weir. Firstly, Weir may come from the Norman-French place name of Ver, or Vere, with the de Ver’s settling in Scotland after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Johnston was educated at University of Glasgow, acquired a fortune by his marriage in 1830, and devoted himself to studying chemistry. He visited the chemist J. J. Berzelius in Sweden and was a co-founder of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He was appointed reader in Chemistry and Mineralogy at Durham University on its foundation in 1833, but continued to reside in Edinburgh out of term. He wrote the Catechism of Agricultural Chemistry (1844), since translated into most European languages, and the Chemistry of Common Life (1853–1855). From 1847, his assistant was Augustus Voelcker who also lectured in agricultural chemistry at Durham University. Johnston died in Durham on 18 September 1855.
Johnston formed a grammar school in Durham in 1825, which later merged with other local schools, such as Brandon and Bowburn, to form a single comprehensive school for the area, named Durham Johnston Comprehensive School, preserving James Finlay Weir Johnston's name.
