Dear Valerie,

I don't know if we have any connection. My grndfather Henry Albert Johnson was born in that region c 1863. He became a tailor's cutter. and married Lucy Elizabeth Robinson . They moved to Ireland for a number of years and had a very large family. For more info. look up in these adds for Johnson==Susan Johnson's ther are lots of details. Or email me. perhaps there is some connection Good Luck
