sorry about the lack of information - this is all I know about him. Apparently he was a bit of a dubious character & heavy drinker so the information about him is quite vague !

I am trying to find out some information about the above person, my great-great grandad. Apparently his original surname was Kidd but for some reason he changed it to Johnson. He had at least 2 sons, george frederick johnson born 1888 & charles, date of birth unknown. Family stories state that william killed himself by jumping off a bridge, but I don't know where or when exactly except that it was after 1906. He has also married at least twice (or so I've been told) and he may have had either a wife or daughter called edith.
can anyone help ?
