If you have no marriage or deaths, no census, where has your information come from?

May I ask how you got Pearson as Catherines maiden name as you dont have a Marriage for William Johnson?


This may be more likely?

Marriage;
02 Jan 1809
Event Place:   
Cathedral Saint Peter,Sheffield,York,England

William JOHNSON to Catherine JERVIS
On Familysearch.Org

That would make Sarah Catherines Sister

Looks to me that Catherine was nee Jarvis/Jervis as the info I have given seems to confirm.

What does the Newpaper Article say?

Trish :)

Looks like I was right.

A very detailed article, Catherine died 1852 in Lancs so that is why I couldnt find a Death Reg in Derby for her.

You can view Catherine Johnson's will on FindMyPast - Staffordshire Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry Wills and Probate 1521-1860.

Did William die at Newbold, Derbyshire in 1838, and said to be of Chesterfield?  If so then his will is also available at FindMyPast.
