JOHNSTON, Nellie Craig - LACW - 2042703 - can't find her at all. I can find her birth on the Scotland's People website, Nellie Craig Johnston, born 1920, registered in Portobello, Edinburgh, but no sign of her death recorded.

EDIT - FreeBMD has a Nellie Johnstone, aged 25, registered Grantham and West Kesteven, Lincs., March 1946.
