Trying to find births

[Rock C]

Hi,

Yes, that is my line. Some of Thomas's line is in Queensland (He was born as Jansen) The parents got married actually on the 8 apr 1855 at Catholic Church West Terrace in Adelaide His father come over from Germany as Jansen (But changed it to Johnson, although one relative uses Johnstone) on the Wandrahm from Varel and is most probably Swedish has the wide variation in surname.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for that info.  Wonderful to find some new details for Willhelm.   

I have William down as marrying Georgina Millington Gower.  I've never been able to find a death or burial for William.  I have a death date for Georgina, but no place of burial. 

Cheers, Chris.

This birth is could be hers, but a fellow researcher has her parents as John (Who come out on the Oithona and landed at Portland in 1855) and Bridget Teague. As one of her daughters is named Bridget Ann it leads weight to this being so.

Peter,
I have Thomas as marrying Alice Howe and William Johnson as marrying Georgina Millington Gower.  Is William who married Georgina the one you mention as being buried at Tanunda?

Yes So I have connections through to both the Millingtons and the Gowers. As JE Gower died on the 18 Jan 1884 at Williamstown (4 Children born, two married). W Johnson & George Ann were married on the 12 Mar 1887 at St George Church Gawler. My G'Father was Charles John Johnson.
