In 1861 Robert appears to be a visitor with a family names Addison, in Shotton. Can't spot hisparents.
1871 is a tad confusing: The only Robert Johnson b, Shotton 1846:
Downs new Houses, Hetton le Hole
Jane Johnson Head Wid 53 B. Durham, Lambton
Robert Johnson Son S 25 Miner B. Shotton
Sarah Johnson Dau 13 B. Durham Hetton
James Carr Son M 25 Miner B. Durham, Sherburn
Mary Carr Wife M 25 B. Durham, Sherburn
Susannah Carr Dau 3 B. Hetton
Jane Carr 2 B. Hetton
On the face of it, it looks as if Elizabeth died, Robert married Jane Carr, then Robert died.
I'll see what I can find for deaths and marriages

Well, there are several things which could be made to fit the theory, but nothing in the least definite!
All I can say for certain is that in 1861 Robert was still alive and living with Jane:
RG9 P. 3744 Fol 68 Pg 8
Albion House, Sherburn
Robert Johnson Head M 49 Coal Miner B. Durham, Pensham
Jane Johnson Wife M 42 B. Durham, Lambton
Mary Johnson Dau 16 B. Durham, Sherburn
Sarah J Johnson Dau 3 B. Hetton
If this is the same Robert - and it certainly seems to be - then :
an Elizabeth Johnson died Q2. 1856 reg. Houghton le Spring
No age known
a Sarah Jane Johnson was reg. Q2. 1858 Houghton, and another Q2 1859.
Either could be this Sara.
I haven't managed to find a Johnson / Carr marriage; there is one in Houghton Q2. 1857 Robert Johnson / Jane Cowell - which maybe Janes maiden name.
I think the Mary Johnson in 1861 is porbably Mary Carr - born Sherburn as was James on the 1971.
All very up in the air, I'm afraid! 
Shall I look for Robert b. 1845 in the 1881 ? Or have I confused you enough?

Mags, I think we have the same great great grandfather, Robert Johnson. My great grandmother was Dorothy. Have just joined this board, but have information going forward on the family, not so much back the way.
