I wonder if anyone can help, I am stuck on my ggrandfather George Johnson b 1875 d 1925 married to Margaret ann Carr b1875 d 1922. They had many children Nellie who died when she was only 19 Elizabeth? Tissy was the name she was known by. Thomas Charles George Margaret and Frank who is my grandfather. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn with George Johnson and cannot find his parents, my family have lived in the Durham Northumberland region for some time, although there were rumours of Ireland and Scotland. If anyone can help point me in the right direction that would be great. Many thanks Steph

Hi,

Found a George Johnson (b. 1875) married to Margaret, living at Sculcoates, in the 1901 census. He is a lawyer, could this be your George? They have two daughters Alice and Mary, aged 4 & 2 respectively.
