I'm going over my grandfathers researching and looking for the answers, as well as work has been busy this week, so sorry for the lack of response.

Occupation on the 1st marriage certificate is 'Sail Maker'
Occupation on the 2nd marriage certificate is 'Bushman' which was crossed out and 'Labourer' written in.

ok Margaret died on the 26th March 1895 related to heart disease.

another update to thicken the plot.

I do know for fact the following

1. there is a stephen johnson known to george's daughter (found post card to and from him)
2. there is a "E. johnson" on Mary O'neill and George Johnsons marriage certificate as a witness.

I have found an arrival of johnsons on board the "john taylor" in 1852.

JOHNSON   ----   52   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007
JOHNSON   ELIZABETH   17   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007
JOHNSON   GEORGE   19   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007
JOHNSON   SAML   24   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007
JOHNSON   SAML   26   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007
JOHNSON   STEPHEN   26   SEP   1852   JOHN TAYLOR   B   008   007

How do I prove or disprove this is the family that i am looking for.

The dates for "george"s birthday pretty much match.

Thanks for your assistance

Michael.
