Sylvia Report 9 Mar 2013 22:24

I am looking for this relation born approx 1890. I know he married Amelia Jane Brown in approx1912 and he was a blacksmith but I cannot trace him as I cannot find him in any records. One of his daughters is Olive Edith Reynolds, nee Johnson born in 1914 in 13 Edgar Road, Bromley. I have her birth certificate so I know I have the right Henry.

I do not know his mothers or fathers name. They have died early in Henrys life - as recalled by a member of the family.

Can you help me please as I have tried for hours to find him and cannot get any further back in the records. Thank you.

I am now looking for John Johnson 1850 who married Clara 1850. Essex. I can't find the marriage or John's birth entry. Their first child was born in 1872 at Romford Essex. I have also been looking for the deaths of both of them but their names do not seem to be on the 1901 or 1911 census so I am wondering if they died as I believe there is a mystery about this. Can you help at all please as I am now stuck. :-)

thank you I will take a look at these two marriages.

Is there any record of deaths as these John and Clara as they seem to disappear and a member of the family said there was some kind of disaster surrounding them like an early death.
