Jane Ann Graham 1864

[Kath Boon]

She married John Coates Johnson in 1895, but I cannot find anything about her before then.  I know she was born in North Shields, and her father was William Graham c1828 and her mother was Mary - possibly McCoull (McCoule).  I am on Ancestry and cannot find anything.  Can anyone help?

[CaroleW]

How do you know both her parents names etc if you can't find anything on her before her marriage?

[Kath Boon]

Her marriage stated that her father was William Graham, and the 1891 census says her mother was Mary

[Kath Boon]

When I said I couldn't find anything before, I should have stated that I cannot find her birth or anything after that.  There are a couple of Jane Grahams on Ancestry, but they are born in different places.

[CaroleW]

John Coates Johnson died 5.4.1941 Durham aged 82.  You can find them both on the 1939 register

His birth is on freebmd as John Coats Johnson 1858 Tynemouth

There is a Jane Ann Graham birth in the Sept qtr 1864 - Tynemouth but mothers maiden name was Neal

What information does the 1891 give for her mother

[CaroleW]

1891 has Mary Graham -  Widow aged  63 b North Shields but there are other children & grandchildren on entry so give me a minute & will post full details

[CaroleW]

1891 83 Stephenson St Wallsend

Mary Graham widow 63 b N Shields
Jane A 26 b N Shields
Lilian Turnbull 9 g/dtr b Howden

It carries on to next page showing 3 single daughters surname Campbell but address is 89 Stephenson St - no head of household hence assumption they were Mary's daughters.  Shown as same household on the transcription

[CaroleW]

1901 entry shows both Jane & John Johnson b Howden & living in Durham

2 sons - Henry 4 & Arthur 1 both b Gateshead - GRO shows mmn Graham

Henry Miller Johnson b 1896 & Arthur b 1899
