Laverdiere,

I am a direct descendant of Arthur Vere Scott Johnson and would love to know more about his parents and siblings. Have you continued to research this in the past year?

I have photos and letters of correspondence between Ada and Arthur, as well as between Ada's father and Arthur.

Thank you,
Duane Johnson

Just to be clear--Ada Silver was Arthur's wife.

There may be some confusion here - there were two places called Hollyville Park, located within a few miles of each other.  I think you are looking for Hollyville Park School, which was located at an address which is now 3 Carrickbrennan Road, Monkstown, Co Dublin.  It is located very close to the Catholic and Protestant churches in Monkstown.

Hi, are you still researching this? Arthur Johnson was a foundational figure of Real Madrid Football Club, probably the biggest football club in the world. I am researching his life.
