Problem is, whatever Kippax is, it doesn't seem to have been used in the 1881. But this is them in 1891:

Then here's a possibility in 1861:

But, Ellen in 1871 (not 1861, what I first said):


Name: Ellen Johnson
[Ellen Doveirghman]
-- whatever it says, it isn't that. Blast!
Age: 32 (I'd call it 37)

Okay fine, everybody else but me can find them in the 1881 census. ;)

That Richard and Ann's surname reminds me of the old "I don't know, but here it comes back again" joke; in 1861:

Name: Richard Dwerreyhous
Age: 68
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1793
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Ann
Gender: Male
Where born: Bootle, Lancashire, England


If we can figure out what it was, we can see whether Ellen's (Ellen, not Ann, duh) husband was a John Johnson!

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 5 Mar 2008 23:38

She seems to be Ellen Dwerryhouse, but no marriage to a Johnson.

Thanks everybody I'm over whelmed with how helpful everyone has been. I have most of that but there was a Dwerryhouse in Kippax 1881 on familysearch . I will have another look. by the way Kippax was mentioned in the doomsday book its very pretty set on an escarpment with a Norman 10c Church. The Collinson Family have been ther for nearly 300 yrs It seems John Johnson is elusive. Annie and James were married at Kippax church in 1876 Ihave all their family its her mother I need now thanks again best regards -Rosa
