Title: William Johnson
Post by: ianhb on Thursday 11 September 08 15:39 BST (UK)

This is the information I have to date :-
William N Johnson Born about 1830 in Evington, Leicester
married to Harriett Saggers Born about 1835 in either Southwell or South Weald.Is there any record of William in 1851 or 61 census returns?
 
I think that they had a son John Richard Johnson born around the 1860`s in Bitteswell, Leics who went on to marry Mary A Bacon
Can you find them on any return and where they lived ? Thanks

Ian

1851 shows him visiting a Holme family at Broughton Lancashire. He's unm, 23, a Labsman.

Any idea which parish Evington comes under in 1841?  :P
