I need some help with this family. I agree with the facts for Thomas's family, but I am doubting my facts about his mother Margaret.
I had her as a Margaret West b. 1822 and married Matthew Johnson 5 February 1844, but as Jane & John were born before this, I am probably wrong.  Also, Liz says she has a copy of the death certificate for Thomas who died in NZ 1936, and it gives his mother's name as Margaret Smith.
Like Liz, Thomas is my great grandfather.
My information is Margaret & Matthew emigrated to NZ in the 1880's to Otago, Matthew died in 1888 and Margaret 1903.

Hello Liz
I chanced upon your entry when I Googled "Thomas Johnson Helen Richardson"
Thomas Johnson was my G.grandfather also, my grandfather was Matthew Johnson, and my father Cyril Johnson, his son.
I have collected some information on our family, and have a family tree on Ancestry.com.
I would be interested in comparing notes you have collected, and can organise free access to my Ancestry.com site if you want.
I have found it hard to obtain very much information about the girl members of Thomas's family, and did not even know about most of them until I started this research.
I remember young Thomas, and Ethel Mary (known as Dolly) as the lived with my grandparents for a while, but never knew any of the others.

I hope this gets to you and I hear back from you.
PS I live in Auckland.

Cheers
Bob Johnson
