Anne SMALL / William JOHNSON Clarence River NSW

[cardol]

Anne JOHNSON (nee SMALL) b. 18 Jun 1825 Kissing Point, NSW d. 1 Aug 1904 Chatsworth Island, Clarence River, NSW

Anne SMALL & William JOHNSON were married 27 Jun 1846 Woodford Island, Clarence River, NSW

Am trying to find a death record for her husband William JOHNSON.

William JOHNSON left his wife about 1870. No trace can be found.

This is too much of a co-incidence to be the person you are looking for but I'll put it up anyway - unfortunately common names make it difficult.  Age seems possible.

SMH has a death notice for a William JOHNSON, age 49 of Clarence River, 1877

This looks to be the corresponding index entry (NSW BMD) for this death so you can eliminate it if you know his mother's name.

1877 William  JOHNSON, mother: EUPHEMIA, death registered at GRAFTON #5486 (No father's name given)

Hi Judith
Thanks for the quick reply


Yes common names make things very difficult.

Hi Jamjar
I'm sorry I have no idea who his parents were.

Hi there,

From this online site: http://family.joint.net.au/index.php?mid=1&cid=153
(Grevilles 1872 Directory, credited to "Special Thanks to Kathy Pearson for her time in transcribing and distributing these documents")

There’s several entries indexed for the surname JOHNSON at Chatsworth Island .... could they be related? If so, then perhaps if they were brothers, then a check of their m.c.s or their d.c.s may give likely names for William’s parents.  And of course that would help in the search for his d.c.

JOHNSON Ambrose farmer Warregah Is. Chatsworth Island
JOHNSON William farmer --- Chatsworth Island
JOHNSON Benjamin farmer --- Chatsworth Island

I note there’s a death indexed for 1890 #7051 and registered at Lismore, for an Ambrose Johnson, parents recorded as James and Maria.

Cheers,  JM
