I am in a real muddle.
Please can you help me to prove or disprove the following please; I've taken it from another tree and I want to know it's true and I am in a right muddle all round.
Kenneth Johnson b 26/3/23. Near Saltburn, Yorkshire. Kenneth died 14 Jan 1999. Surrey.
He had an older brother James Frederick Johnson born Dec 1915. Guisbro/Yorkshire d 1986 MMN Holt
Their father:
Ambrose Firby Johnson b 1886 MMN Kirk.
married Mabel Seth
Marriage
25 OCT 1909 • ST.JOHN EVANGELIST, MIDDLESBROUGH
1911 census:
Ambrose age 24 lives in Skelton, Cleveland and is a miner.
He lives with Mabel Johnson age 21 and they've been married 1 year.
It says they had had one child born alive but he or she had died.
So their first child died. What was he or she called?
The other tree has a Mabel Johnson born to the couple in 1911 and dying in 1918. Is this true?
Then Ambrose Firby Johnson from Grangetown, a steel smelter, age 39, gets on a ship ON HIS OWN to Bombay, from London, 6/3/1925.
But in April 1928 he comes back from Bombay to London with Mabel and Kenneth age 5.
When did Mabel and Kenneth go to Bombay? Why didn't they take their other child James with them?
The record suggests that he is going to live in Earls Court while his wife and child are going to a different location??
1939 Register:
Ambrose F Johnson born 8/4/86 fishmonger lives with Mabel Johnson b 25/10/89
Where has Kenneth gone in 1939? He would have been about 16. I know his future wife lived in India and they married in Egypt; but surely he hasn't left at the age of 16??
