Birthyear & birthplace needed with a surname like Johnson.  247 entries for that name in Durham in 1891 & 292 in 1901 - how do we know which one is yours?

Only 2 entries in Catchgate on both censuses - father & son & both coal miners

 Have you used  www.familysearc.org to check for census entries?

All I know about him is that he was born about 1852 ish in Ireland and his wife's name was Eliza(beth) and he did have a son named George born about 1887 and several other children.  He was a miner and ran a beerhouse as a sideline.

Elliven.

George JOHNSON is also shown on the 1911 Census 'though he is shown as aged 63. Perhaps this should have been 68. Every other family member shown in 1911 ties in with the 1901 and 1891 Census.

McTalbert and CaroleW

Thank you both.  I have found these entries.  Originally, I was hoping that they would show him to be a beerhouse keeper but sadly they don't.  I know he was licensee of the Green Tree Inn which was a very old (200-300 years) establishment which was reduced from an inn providing ales, wines and spirits, food and accommodation to a beerhouse then an off licence.  It was a very good building which had been undermined and partly demolished due to subsidence caused by mining and eventually totally demolished.

Sadly, I am not sure how long he ran the establishment as these three censuses don't mention the beerhouse.  It was a supplier of Vaux ales but I can't find out anything about it.  The quest goes on!

The Green Tree Inn was at 20 Claypath.

Albert Burtenshaw ran it in 1891.
James Marley ran it in 1901

Elliven,

Where did you get the information that he was a beer retailer?

I have two old photographs, one of which shows THE GREEN TREE INN, the proprietor being J. T. Ridley.  The other photograph does not show a name board and appears to be a totally different building.

Do you want copies?
