Charles Howard JOHNSON

[Valgenie]

Thank you. I went on the Ryerson Index and found the Notice. If you apply to the SHJ do they give you the complete obit?
FYI  my mother is 90, and yesterday I was able to tell her she has a half-brother !!!

Hi Valgenie,

Was Charles in Australia during WWI?  Wife, Beatrice Victoria?  There is a service record for man of this name who enlisted in Sydney and went AWOL as soon as he arrived in the UK.  He was born in London in 1885.

I'm a bit puzzled

My grandfather Charles Howard Johnson b. 1886,  emigrated to Aus. in 1944, I did not know where he went until today.

Valgenie
and you have his death certificate.

There appear to be two Charles Howard JOHNSON's on the NSW indexes with parents having identical given names.  However his death certificate should have identifying information eg place of birth.  Did he marry?

Burning Question........where is his son?

[sparrett]

Hi Val,
Your last posting shows you had a lot of information about the man.

Just giving you a useful tip for next time.

Always give all the information you have right at the outset.

That way helpers are not wasting time researching what you already know.

As to the Burning Question, if you go back through the thread , I have suggested you acquire a copy of his death notice REPLY #6
