MIGHT & CO.'S LATE (R. L. POLK & CO.) DIRECTORY OF ST. JOHN'S NEWFOUNDLAND 1890 Johnston Charles fisherman h Circular rd Johnston Charles carman Riverhead Brewery bds Circular rd
It appears in the 1890 directory there were two Charles Johnstons living on Circular Road (no numbers). This could be an error, however, there may have been a Charles from another family living in the same area. Charles Johnston (of James) is listed as a drayman, living at Circular Rd. when he was married. This is likely the Charles that was listed as working at the brewery.
