Find Ancestors

Hi.

Is it possible to find someone on the 1891 census by trade.
Still hunting for Henry Johns b.1850, U, Bootmaker, London Soho.


Thanks for any help. Dud.

Do you have him on other census's?

You can do address searches incase he is still living in the same house as 1901 or 1881....

Can i just add, there are no Henry Johns born in London in 1850..... I assume Johns is his surname??

Tracey

Hi Tracey.
The details I have given about Henry were from the 1901 census when he was working and living in Aldershot.
Can find absolutely nothing about this chap in any previous census. Dud

ok

Can you please post the data you have and we can go from there....

Tracey

HI again. Yes Johns was his surname or at least he said it was. Dud.

1901 census. Henry JOHNS. Boarder. Age 50. Bootmaker, Born London Soho.
Thats all I have about this man who had two illegitimate children with my grandmother. Both were given the name of JOHNS and he registered both births
Dud.

i can't find him with the data you have given me?

Where did you get the data from?

Tracey

Hi. I thought the curly bit "y" was from the word Camden underneath it. Dud.

Maybe it does say London Soho and the writing is extremely bad...

I like a challenge!!

According to the BMD there is no corresponding birth for him!

....being a Journeyman, it could be interesting lol

Tracey

I feel sure this chap was telling porkies when he gave the 1901 info. Dud,

Ive had this one before. Henry's name is Johnson.
Rosina Terry was his sister and her maiden name was Johnson. Dud.

Don't dismiss things so easily.... It seems dear Rosina has 2 children with different names..... so she's been married at least twice!!!
