Maddie I was looking at that bap for William James Johnson.

As there was a child to William called Hannah I thought it quite likely.

Looking at the childrens ages on the 1861 census it may have been a second marriage. You need to buy a birth cert of one of the children to find the mother maiden name if we can't find a marriage.

If the births of any of the children were registered, Jane's maiden name will be on the cert(s)

If, as you think, Jane was born in Ireland, and (from the census record) her husband had obviously been in the forces, the marriage could have taken place in Ireland

I am trying to confirm a marriage between William Johnson and Jane? in 1848 in Greenwich. I applied to GRO but they could find no record. Jane was born in Ireland in 1819. I do not have her surname. Please help.
