Hi Valgenie,

Just a few questions -

Do you know which state in Australia Charles was living in?  His occupation?  Place of birth and parents' names?  His wife's name? Was he a widower or divorced when he came to Australia (i.e. free to marry again)?  How sure are you of his arrival year?

This marriage in 1943 makes me wonder if CHARLES arrived earlier than you think

There is only one "Charles Howard Johson" shown on electoral rolls up to 1954 (which is where my access ends).  Plenty of other "Charles Johnson"s
