If the Charles and Mary HEINSON/HEMSON on the 1851 census are the same deaths found in South Australia (below )....then this could "possibly" be Henry George HEMSON's parents.
This would mean Henry George HEMSON was born in the U.K ( Not S.A ) unless of course someone can find this birth ...7/03/1842 Kapunda S.A? ( Kapunda S.A was founded in 1842 )


These two folk appear to be the earliest "HEMSON: surnames in S.A ( Given their ages )

Hi All, I am trying to find info on a family member called Peter Alfred Johnson. I have little details on birth and death, but the only info I have is that he had 13 kids one of them being my great great grandma who was born in 1883 in QUEENSTOWN SA so im guessing he could be born around 1860's?? His partner was Mary Ann O Halloran born 03/08/1863. I do not know if he married her. If anyone could find any info for me it would be greatly appreciated!! Thank

Alana(SA)

Then we have Kenneth Albert Gilbert Johnson ( below ) with parents Peter Alfred Johnson and Alice Bridget HEMSON
Did Alice Bridget JOHNSON die or abandon?, .......and a possible brother/cousin or her father.? (Peter Alfred JOHNSON ) through a second marriage or relationship.......take on her 3 children ( Thelma, Majorie & Herbert ) and this is where the Alice Bridget "HEMSON" comes into the family.?

Is it possible that the 3 children( Thelma, Majorie & Herbert ) were bought up by there grandfather, and a step grandmother Alice Bridget HEMSON

Then you would have Thelma, Majorie ,Herbert and Kenneth, all growing up in the same family.

Alice Bridget passed away at age 59 and on her birth and deat cert whe was recorded as a Johnson. A conclusion i thought as to why she had Hemson on Kenneth's birth cert was maybe she was ashamed to have kids from a married man,being Herbert Hemson(if you see my other threads on this man)!!

You say "Thelma May Johnson was married to Herbert Russell Hemson"....so this would be the Herbert Russell HEMSON born 1912...? (above )

Is this correct.

Sorry... thought it was you who made the comment about Herbert Russell HEMSON who married Thelma May JOHNSON....but i see it was a post from Robert.

Post from Robert:
Henry George Hemson b 7.3.1842 Kapunda
Anne Eliza Hillier (Wife 1)

Their children
Herbert Russell Hemson b18.5.1880 .....Thelma May Johnson (Wife 1)....... Emily Olive Jane Hastings (Wife 2)


I'm not sure where Robert got his information from re: Thelma May Johnson (Wife 1)....... Perhaps you can send him a pm asking him.

If Thelma May JOHNSON wasnt born till 1911.....i cant see how Herbert Russell Hemson b18.5.1880 could be Thelma's ( wife 1 ) husband.....when he married Emily Olive Jane HASTINGS in 1906....Thelma May JOHNSON was not even born till 1911


I can only find one marriage for Herbert Russell JOHNSON snr.....who married in 1906
