Looking for Edith Grace Johnson b. 1919 Ipswich

[chempat]

So Richard's marriage certificate to confirm Father, and birth certificate with exact date of birth to find him in 1939 for possible useful address also, and to search for his death?

This could be Richard in 1911 - from FamilySearch in the army in Malta

Looks good - his Army record shows he was in Malta 1909-1914.

The records on Ancestry stop in 1892 in Kensington, so Richard would not show.

No wonder I was having problems - was searching for a Richard bc.1870's Camberwell??

Richard's sister Margaret (shown as Minnie at birth, and on earlier census) married a Thomas Alfred Chandler 19/4/1908 and her address was given as '65 Royal Terrace' which thus confirms the army service record address.   By the next census her father and sister Kate (shown as Kathleen in 1901) are living with them.

That's great re 65 Royal Terrace.  We now have references to that address in connection with the Johnson family spanning 1908-1910.

I am not sure Margaret (jnr) and Minnie (jnr) are the same person.  Margaret is 22 when she marries Thomas Alfred Chandler in Feb 1908, consistent with the 1885 baptism found by chempat and in turn with this birth reg:

Margaret Johnson mmn Glover, Sep qtr 1885 Kensington

Also: James Johnson mmn Glover, Dec qtr 1884 Kensington, again consistent with the Earl's Court baptism.

Birth of Walter Johnson mmn Glora in June quarter 1890 in Lambeth

Possible death for Walter Johnson: Jun qtr 1892 Camberwell, aged 2.
