Hi

Could sks let me have the details from the 1901 census of the following;

Jane Johns. age 43 b.Bromley
Henry Johns age 14 b.Soho Wesdtminster.

I believe Jane was a live in house keeper at St Giles in the Field London..
Is Jane calling herself wife or widow.??
Her husband Henry Johns born 1858 is not with her. He states on various occasions as being born in Alderney C.I. or Soho London.

Many thanks. Dud.

If I look at the 1901 census listing on Genes, I can find Henry b.1887 as being born in Soho and living in Bloomsbury.

How have you got back to Henry & Jane? They are obviously 2 different families - one Henry with Jane & father Henry in 1891, the other Henry with parents George & Janet. Here is that family in 1911.

Janet Ann Johns
Age in 1911: 58
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Female
Birth Place: Stepney
Civil parish: Walthamstow
County/Island: Essex
Country: England
Street Address: 24 Greville Road, Walthamstow
Marital Status: Widowed
Registration district: West Ham
Registration District Number: 188
Sub-registration district: Walthamstow
ED, institution, or vessel: 37
Household schedule number: 153

George William Johns 25
Henry Charles Johns 24
Albert Francis Johns 19
Joseph Walter Johns 17
James Robert Johns 13
Mary Boylan 68
Arthur Derrick 2
Thomas Preston 61

And Gerge/Janet's marriage

George Johns
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1846
Age: 35
Father's Name: Henry Johns
Spouse's Name: Janet Ann Merrin
Spouse's Age: 29
Spouse's Father's Name: William Merrin

So which family are you trying to trace?

Dudley Report 12 Nov 2012 16:27

Hi.
To Recap.

The 1891 census Piece 88 Floio 51 Page 10 states

Henry Johns b.1858 C.I
Jane Johns b.1858 Bromley
Henry Johns .1887 Westminster
Agnes Johns Mother who died 1893

I may have found Henry senior in 1901 as living in Aldershot (transcribed as Henry John) aged 50 born Soho.

But where is Jane??

I think the connection in 1901 betwwen another Johns family (George and Janet) is not the same family. Unless they brought up young Henry as there own.

Hope this is clearer,

Dud


is not the same family.

I can't see where the 1901 information has come from, tried on here, ancestry and FMP but no Jane Johns of that age anywhere other than in Cornwall. The only Henry I can see is the one with parents George & Janet.

I see Agnes died in 1893, but can't find the others in 1901 or 1911.

Hi Flip

Hi

Still searching for Jane and little John. The details on the 1891 census shows
Henry Johns b.C.I age 33
Jane Johns b. Bromley Age 33
Henry Johns b. Soho age 4
Agnes johns b.Truro age 91
Eliza Bates b.C I age 17

Piece 88 Folio 51 Page 10.

Henry Johns married Jane Garard December 20 th 1885 and they had Henry James in 1886 ( Westminster 1a 609). Agnes Johns (mother) died 1893.

I cannot find this family after this census. It is possible that Henry (Snr) turns up in Aldershot on the 1901 census as a bootmaker, (transcribed as Henry John) There he says he is 50 , a bit out of true, but the entry was possibly completed by his employer, with whom he lodged and who took a guess at his age.. He also states he was born in Soho.

There is a George and Janet Johns with a son call Henry on the 1901 census but this is not the same family. There son was christened Henry Charles and was born 1897 Soho. Westminster

I can find no 1901 census for Jane nor little Henry and also cannot find any recorded deaths.

What do I do now? Any suggestions appreciated.

Dud.
