I can find no marriage for an Eliza Ann Mackerell and George Edward Johnson between 1840 and 1880 on either Freebmd or ancestry.

That makes me think maybe they did not bother to get married.

So it looks like the 1861 census for 100, Parrington Street, St Georges East, St George-In-The-East is the correct record. (Posted earlier by alviegal)

Pauline, what research have you done and which records have you verified yourself?

Pauline

Pauline Report 24 Oct 2015 22:41

My information from birth certificate of my maternal grand father: George Edward Johnson born Dec.27th 1859 at 4 Lavender Place, St. George, Middlesex.
Father: George Johnson - Merchant Seaman
Mother: Eliza Ann Johnson formerly Mackerell - address; 4 Lavender Place, St.George, Middlesex
Hope this helps located her family.

MarieCeleste Report 24 Oct 2015 20:48

I think the 1862 marriage posted by malyon may be discounted in relation to the 1862 baptism of a George Edgar Johnson.

On the baptism the father is a cooper by trade. On the 1862 marriage (image on Ancestry) that George Edward Johnson is an iron moulder and both bride and groom claimed to be single.

Looking for Eliza Ann Mackerell born approx. 1839 - Married George Edward Johnson they had a son George Edgar Johnson born December 27, 1859 in London UK probably in the Mile End area.
Any suggestions?
