London and Middlesex / Re: Johnson family of Westminster

How super. Would love to hear from you. I'm afraid I'm new to RootsChat so a bit hazy as to how it works, but it will not take long to get used to it I'm sure. Edward Johnson went out to Algoa Bay South Africa we think about 1835. I have not been able to find a baptism certificate for him, but have found the baptism notices of his 7 siblings in St James Piccadilly London records on Findmypast. Edward is supposed to have been born in 1813, I see a brother William James Johnson was also born in 1813, so wondered whether he was a twin. William died in 1814, he was baptised but no sign of Edward. Edward married in South Africa to Caroline Rogers or Rodgers, who he had supposedly met in London. They had 8 children. Caroline is said to have been related in the silversmith family of Rodgers, but have not found a death certificate, and there are rather a lot of Caroline Rogers (Rodgers). Would be very grateful if anyone has information on Caroline.

Just found your message about John Johnson born 1774-1850 and his wife Elizabeth Clarkson. My great great grandfather was Edward Johnson whose parents were John and Elizabeth Johnson. I know the names of 8 brothers and sisters, George Raymond, Elizabeth Jane, Henry, John Frederick Hornby, Sophia, Caroline Western ( Johnson ) Mary Ann William James, who passed away whilst still a baby and Edward. Would love to know more about the family as my knowledge is quite limited.
