Hi everyone,
I'm desperately trying to get a lead on my GG grandfather William Johnson who was born
in Newport around 1848. His father was James Johnson, a machinist. Does anyone have access
to an index for the Newport area 1851 census. I have found a record of a multiple baptism
in 1856 for Eliza, James, William and Mary whose parents were James and Hannah Johnson in
Caerleon. This could be my family so if anyone can find this family it would be good
(although I have no proof they are mine). The father James had a different occupation
(mariner) but occupations do change. I have also not managed to trace the family in the
1861 and 1871 census. I suspect they are still in the Newport area as William married
there in 1873 (father James was dead by this time).
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in anticipation
Dan Johnson (Harrow, Middx)
