Johnson, Ibstock
« on: Thursday 13 December 18 04:44 GMT (UK) »
There seems to be a large family of Johnsons in Ibstock. It doesn't help narrow down the right one.
I have a William Johnson who married a Lydia. There are two possibilities in May 1825 - one to Lydia Hall and one to Lydia Pratt. How do I know which is the correct one? William Johnson's wife put her birthplace as Ibstock in one census and Hugglescote in another. Was either Lydia Hall or Lydia Pratt born in either of those places?
Edit: Perhaps they are one and the same person but with transcription errors? One date of marriage is 13 May and the other 30 May....

The GRO Birth Index is free to search and lists the mothers maiden name https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp


I think this might be their daughter Selina

Oh, thank you!
That seems to clinch it then, as I had those two children on the tree.
I didn't know you could search for free and get the maiden names. You learn something new every day.
