Does anyone know anything about an adoption in Surrey?

Am quite sure it was CHJ on the first list of objectors in NZ.  Remarkably, he later managed to enlist in Australian Army of WW1 and got himself back to the UK where he deserted and found his way back to his first and legal wife.  Mother was born in 1919.  The Waterloo road address was used often.  He then then joined the British Navy in late 1918. He probably was not the other Charles Johnson with the Prices because he always used that Howard middle name and the dates are not correct.
I will keep looking for the way to access the marriage record to Violet.
Thank you Wendy and everyone.  My family and Uncle Peter thank you for your interest!

Thanks to all who replied, nothing would surprise me about this man.....he was born in England, married my grandmother in 1916, had a couple of children, then disappeared off the face of the earth!
I traced him to Australia, and, with the help of Rootschat (and Ancestry) traced another marriage which was bigamous. I traced a son who is my uncle and we are in touch often.
Now, while idly glancing through the Police Gazette, there he is , right about 1938 where I have a gap in my records....and it looks as if there is another bigamous marriage.
He follows a pattern. He is quite a character.  My mother is 100 later this year and we are putting together a book about his life, but I will need to get a copy of the marriage to Violet to make sure it is him. Thank you all!

New Zealand Completed Requests / Charles Howard Johnson
« on: Saturday 06 April 19 17:11 BST (UK)  »
Once again, I am asking for help in looking up a marriage in NZ.  I have come across a man who I beleive is my grandfather, getting married in NZ in 1936, to a Violet Gertrude Hooper.
How can I see the details of this marriage?  His name is Charles Howard Johnson, date of birth January 10, 1885.  Thank you!

Looking for a birth and parentage of a Jane Hunter, second wife of Edward Lewis, a surgeon from Sherburn in Elmet, Yorkshire, she married him in 1826 in Sherborn. She is on the Census in 1871.
Thank you for all and any info.

Hmmmm, well if Lillian Gordon Howd was travelling to Canada to meet up with her fiance James Milne
Allan, that would have been news to his wife waiting back home, she thought he was still out hunting for a tobacconist!

Thanks everyone for all so far, we are following up with Irene's birth and marriage to Willard Neilson, it seems they had three children.  The amount of info you have dug up, has been awesome.
FYI, James Milne Allan's grandson has been searching for his grandfather for years!!! More later!

Sorry that I have not been back before to say a huge "Thank you" to all you wonderful folks, my computer was converting to Windows 10, but I am back now and very thankful.  Here in England we have been looking for Lillian with 2L's, and think perhaps she and James knew each other before he went off to Canada......stay tuned!!
