Elizabeth Jackson is my great-grandfather's maternal aunt. She married John Johnson and they went to the USA in 1905. Their last child Martha was born in Ohio in 1906, but the rest were born in England - Thomas 1889, Agnes 1891, George 1895, Sarah 1899, Mary Anne 1905.
Elizabeth and John both died in in Scammon, Cherokee, Kansas in 1924 and 1934 respectively and I've found their burials at Hosey Hill Cemetery. Thomas died during WW1 and I'm trying to trace marriages and offspring of the others without a lot of luck.
Can anyone help expand on the following please:
Agnes Ann m Clarence O Wilson, I think she died in Scammon in 1991 and had a son Otis Dean who died in Missouri in 1992.
George b.1895 and died in Scammon in 1971. I couldn't find a marriage for him.
Sarah Ellen b.1899 and I think married twice - Marshall Jacobs's and Arthur L. Herweyer. I can't find any offspring.
Mary Anne born 1905 in England. Can't find a marriage or death.
Martha born 1906 in Ohio. I think married Alvin Bond Smith, but can't find any offspring.
I've got full membership of a worldwide genealogy site but can't find more than that. The 1940 census wasn't much help either.
If anyone can help flesh this out, I'd be most appreciative.
Thank you!

Thanks Sandra. This looks pretty solid. Can't find any children though Martha would have been 40 when they married. Good to have a date of birth for Martha. Thanks for your help!

Strange FIND A GRAVE entry for Sarah Johnson/Jacobus/Herweyer ??? They can't be children of Arthur and Sarah that are listed- he would only have been 13 when William was born and 14 when Jennie was born ??? and she was married to Marshall Jacobus at that time. ??? Presume Marshall and Sarah divorced after the 1940 census (no children) - he passed away 1975

Sandra, your help has been amazing!
The Herweyer FindAGrave reference is wrong. I found a 1920 census that had William and his sister Jennie with parents, James and Henrietta. Maybe James was a relative of the William who married Sarah Ellen Johnson.
I'm really only interested in descendents of Elizabeth and John as Elizabeth is my great-great grandmother's sister.
Really appreciate your help! Many thanks.

Obituaries might be the way forward to help your search - Cherokee County Kansas Genealogy Library seems to be the place to try.
