I’m sorry – this is a bit long.
I’m trying to find John Johnson, coal merchant.
Sarah Ann/e Johnson married William Edward Wolledge St George the Martyr, Southwark 27/11/1852. Sarah’s father was John Johnson, coal merchant. I’ve found no trace of him on any census.
Sarah’s details from following censi: -
1861 c1824 Vauxhall (consensus of opinion, transcript says Danshall)
1871 c1824 Lambeth
1881 c1822 Lambeth
1891 c1826 Lambeth
1901 c1833 London
The most likely 1851 entry is in Deptford St Nicholas HO107/1585 P48 Sarah A. Johnson, servant c1828 transcribed Maersham, but I think it could be Vauxhall. Future husband William is in Deptford St Nicholas on the 1851.
1841 The strongest contender I can find is in Lambeth
HO107/1057 P14
Joseph Thomson c1816
Sarah Thomson c1806
John Johnson c1821
Sarah Johnson c1826
James Johnson c1829
Clarissa Johnson c1835
I can find no record of a marriage for a Sarah Johnson and Joseph Thomson.
By 1851, son John is living with a Sarah/Susannah/Susan born c1821 Southampton but there are several Sarah/John Johnson and Susan/John Johnson marriages on freeBMD and I have no idea where they married, if indeed they did.
By 1881, Clarissa/Clara is called Dunn and is living with a Harry Dunn. I can find no trace of a marriage for them.
Sarah Thomson and presumed eldest son John were both born Petworth, Sussex.
There is a death of a John Johnson Lambeth 1838, but John and Johnson are both common names.
As far as I can see, my options are to either buy the Petworth Parish Register Transcript CD (£11), or the John Johnson, Lambeth, death certificate – both long shots.
Can anyone see any other possible way forward which I may have overlooked please?
