Don’t know if either of these JOHNS are related to your Johns family but both buried at
Saint Woolos Cemetery Newport County Wales

you’ve probably read this but just in case....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Woolos_Cemetery

Newport City Council is responsible for three public cemeteries situated at:
Caerleon – Cold Bath Road, Caerleon NP18 1NF
Christchurch – Christchurch Road, Newport NP18 1JJ
St Woolos – 48 Bassaleg Road, Newport, NP20 3PY

Don't know if any of this info. will be of help......

Commercial Road is close to Royal Gwent, St Woolos Hospital
St Woolos Cemetery is further over on Bassaleg Road ,
Leicester Road is over the River Usk nearer to Duckpool Road Baptist Church

Hopefully the link below with the map will work type in the name or the roads in the search box -

Thank you Ladyhawk. Will need to see what family Henry Bertram Johns is related to. He may just be shown in the 1891 census, if not, then 1901.

Can you see him in the 1891 census, with his family, as this may help me to link the families.

That is also the record I found Ladyhawk
Harry Johns b Devon age 33 bricklayer

William H Johns b Bideford Devon age 4
Harry B Johns b 1891 Newport age 2 months

So it seems this family are from Devon
