John Henry Johnson's parents

[Ravintola]

I am trying to find details of John Henry Johnson's parents.   On 1871 census he is living with his grandfather William in Calverley Leeds, 1881 the same and o the 1891 with his wife Elizabeth.  He died in 1909.    Elizabeth then remarried to a William Schofield c June 1914.      Any help would be gratefully received, thank you.

What age was he in the censuses you have found, and where born?

Have you traced his marriage to Elizabeth?

Hello,

You may need to purchase the birth certificate:

John Henry Johnson March 1865 Bradford volume 9b page 226

It looks as though William had 2 sons- George and Simeon P in 1871.

John Henry's marriage shows no father.

Thank you for responses.  He was born in Pudsey (unconfirmed) and was born in 1865 (approx). On the 1881 census he is living with his grandad and he was aged 16.  In 1891 he is married at 26, and the the 1901 he was 36. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Just checking and I think I gave you the wrong info- sorry!

Looks to be your family. There is a daughter Sarah aged 13yrs and a son William 15 yrs, and George 9 yrs.
Have you followed them? There are older children in 1851.

A birth or marriage certificate would confirm his father's name.

Could this be John Henry 1871 Armley?

as heywood mentions a b/c or m/c would confirm John’s parent(s)
