HERBERT JOHNSON B1853 SHERINGHAM, NORFOLK

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Caroline Report 13 Mar 2021 08:35

I have found the rest of his family moved north to Cheshire around 1870. I have found all of them EXCEPT Herbert. I cant see if he died or anything else.

His family lived in Sheringham, Norfolk.

His father is Robert Johnson
His mother is Elizabeth Woodhouse

On the 1881 census, the whole family except Herbert are living in Cavendish Street, Runcorn.

If anyone can shed some light, I would be mightily grateful
Thanks
