Find Ancestors

My relative Thomas Johnson a tripe seller born c1827 in Gedney Dyke Lincolnshire came down to London and lived in various parts of London. He also seemed to return to Lincolnshire at one time as 3 of his younger children were born there. He married Mary Ann in 1859 in Poplar. She was a Miliner. I am trying to find his family in Lincoln as I have hit a brick wall. Can someone help please

Is this him?

Thank you everyone. i'm sorry i didn't make myself clear enough. I know of Thomas and his wife and children - Arthur is my Great Gandfather. What I could not find was Thomas's family, siblings and parents etc in Lincoln. It also seems he returned to Lincoln with Mary as three of the younger children were born there I think. I wondered if he had gone home to family in Lincoln. Thanks again Gill

Thought that's what I gave you at the beginning!

Thank you Catherine,
yes you did give me his father and mother at the beginning and I did look before but couldn't get any further. I will go and have another look for them. Thanks again. Gill
