John William Johnson and family
« on: Tuesday 25 October 16 16:58 BST (UK) »
Hi my relative and his family emigrated from England to Canada arriving on the Arabic on 6th April 1913 at Halifax. They are John William Johnson born 1882, his wife Margaret for 1882 and their children John James born 1904 and Margaret Ann born 1907. I can't find any trace of them in Canada or the USA after this.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

I'm thinking they may have returned.

3 Sep 1913 Liverpool from Montreal on the Victorian

John Johnson 31 lab
Margaret Johnson wife 30
John Johnson 7
Margaret Johnson 5

intending to go to Scotland.

There's an Ancestry tree which says John James married in England and Margaret senior died there but I'm not sure it's accurate.

Thanks so much this has been so helpful. I had the family but could only find a death for Margaret and no marriages for either child or the death of John William so I looked at passenger records and saw that they had gone to Canada. I didn't think that they might have come back! I will keep looking.

Yeah that 1904 marriage is the correct one for them. John William Johnson's parents are James Johnson and Ann Cookson and Margaret Taylor's parents are John Taylor and Margaret Hodgson.

And the marriage for John James on the Ancestry tree is wrong in 1930. I had already looked into that and eliminated it as the wrong person.
