Hello Everyone!!!
I know this is a ridiculously old thread now, and I apologize for the resurrection, if it is not board etiquette. BUT, I wanted to thank all the wonderful people on here who have helped, and update... great help does not go in vain!!
I looked at James Johnson on 1841 Louth census, with a Charles and Mary, who had apparently married in Legbourn, and it all fitted wonderfully. Then I had a wobbley!!!!! I found James Johnson on the subsequent censae and it wasn't my James Tuxworth.
BUT-- it was still getting at me, especially as my James Tuxworth called his penultimate son David, and claimed his own birth in both Legbourn and Louth. ( and I found him aquitted in Criminal registers as Tuxworth) Then I discovered there were 2 James Johnsons b c 1834 in Louth on the census, and the one I had followed was not the son of a Charles. So, I did a "tree" for all these Johnsons, and followed the sons to London, which was interesting....as my James ended up in the East End too.
The breakthrough came when I discovered the baptism for David Tuxworth, the son of James and Julia Tuxworth... he was baptised as David Johnson!!!!!! at Bow, London, the same address, exactly, as my great Grandmother Adeliza Tuxworth. Conclusive me thinks??
Also, David Johnson, prospective half-brother of my James Tuxworth, married at Grimsby while my James was living there- I bought his marriage cert and discovered a witness was a James Tuxforth-- OK ,,, not Tuxworth, but my James is in a census as James Tuxforth, and was, at the time illiterate.
So, I have my great grandfather as bastard son of Mary Tuxworth, later wife of Charles Johnson, Bearhouse Keeper, ~Louth. Any clues on Mary?
??
Well, I am happy with it anyway!-- Would love any comments from you all if you think I am totally wrong!- but if not , again, thank-you all for your brilliant help!!
Rootschat fan, although I was already.
