I am searching for any descendants of George Johnson and Julia Ann Sullivan who migrated from Kent to Leeds with 10 of their 11 children between 1871 and 1875. The children that I was able to locate married and had their own families which means I have more cousins than I could realize. I am searching for information about their mother. I am located in the USA which makes it quite difficult to
any real research. Any information would be greatly appreciated. The 11th child that did not emigrate to Leeds was my grandmother who somehow found her way to the USA.

Hi and welcome lilibetii :)
Do you know what area of Leeds they lived in, together with names/ages.
(Just asking before I trawl through what census information I have of Leeds.)

I am sorry Ian. It was actually you who found the family on the 1881 census.

Not to worry lilibetii, Brian is a friend of mine and we often overlap when trying to assist others.
If it's Julia's history you are trying to trace I regret to say I am not up on Irish searches, never having done any, but I'm sure someone on Rootschat will be able to help.
I'll keep an eye on your post to see what results come up.
Cheers,
Ian

Thank you Ian. I really wasn't expecting help for information about Julia Here. What I was hoping for was to find some of her descendants who might have some information. Someone must have some information, maybe even a bible.

Thank you so much Brian, but I believe I must have had the wrong Steven Johnson because this one has a father "Edward Johnson" whereas my Steven would have the father as "George Johnson." I am sorry that I sent you on the wrong path.
