thank you, think I need to send off for Albert James birth certificate to be absolutely sure. I have also looked at previous censuses but only found a record on 1891 census for Albert J Johnson living with his widowed mother Harriett and other brothers, as I don't know if he had any brothers I cannot be sure that is him so until I get his birth certificate, I will have to be patient. I really appreciate the help and information you have all given.

Allanna Report 9 Jan 2011 19:06

I cannot find any trace of my grandfather on the censuses. He married my grandmother Johanna Haley in 1905 in Tower Hamlets, his father's name was given as James Johnson. I can find Johanna Haley b 1883 on the 1901 census but not Albert James Johnson, I cannot find either of them on the 1911 census, I know they lived at 56 High Street, Bromley by Bow and would have had at least two sons by 1911. Can anyone please help with advice or info?
