Johnson Researcher
« on: Tuesday 23 November 04 23:46 GMT (UK) »
Our Shropshire interest is the Johnson line from the Newport area. My husband's gggrandfather was Samuel Johnson b. 1813(?). Married Mary Hurst in 1849, daughter of Thomas Hurst, blacksmith from Weston Jones. Moved to Wednesbury area (1851), son Joseph (1866) was father to Benjamin, father of Stanley (1926), father of Robert (1961) my husband!
Would love to corroborate Samuel's birthdate and go beyond if possible.

Best wishes Judith

Hi Judith

I've been trying to find a marriage record for Samuel & Mary on Free BMD, but there are several results for each name.  Where was Mary born?

  Weston Jones???  Could you clarify please? :D

Have you found the family on any of the census returns?  They might give an indication of where they were born (but quite possibly they lied about their birthplace......a very common thing to do!!!)
