Leander Johnson died in Tonga in 1918. He came from Finland.
His estate papers are in the British Consul in Tonga's papers in the Western Pacific Archive in Auckland University Library, NZ.
I have seen them and took a few notes. They mention his 5 sons- no daughters.
Charles Henry Johnson, Leander John Johnson, Edward Alexander Johnson, Emil James Johnson and an adopted son George Johnson.

Hooley Dooley,

It's been forever since I posted in here. Unfortunately I've not been able to find anymore about Leander, other than he was granted citizenship in NZ in 1906 (i have a small newspaper article).

Christine L, very very interesting info you have there!! All children there that I know about except for Rosetta! I wonder what that could mean? They're listed as Rosetta's parents on her death cert!.

Belinda.

Just chanced on this thread and hope all have sorted out the Johnson saga now.  My ancestor was William Bryning (1802-1877) from Middlesex, whose eldest daughter was Sarah Louise Bryning (1824-1896).  She was born in Buckinghamshire, married William Waghorn in 1854 - daughter Sarah Anne (Annie) was born in 1856.  This then ties in with the Johnson story - Sarah Annie married Leander Johnson in Richmond, Surrey in 1885.  Mother Sarah Louise outlived William Waghorn - he died in 1888 - so she emigrated to Australia in 1891 with daughter Sarah Annie, husband Leander and infant.  They arrived in Sydney on 24 Oct 1891 on the ship Port Albert, from London via Melbourne.
Sarah Louise Waghorn died in 1896 in Newcastle NSW.
I have all the relevant census entries for the two Sarahs - except for 1891.  Where were they then?  Surely they will not have sailed from London by the date of the census?
Are there any grave inscriptions etc for Sarah Louise?  My Bryning cousins still living here in the UK would be very interested in the addition and resolution of this Australian line.

Hello.. :)  I am one of Rosetta's granddaughters! I am trying to find out all I can about her.Family legend says Leander was her father but Sarah not her mother.She was supposedly born in NZ but the records building burnt down.........so no birth cert available.Would genuinely appreciate any information on her you may have.
