Samuel, b 1806? in england. Went to Ireland ...Dublin.., married Elizabeth from Dublin. Had William Christopher Johnson in 1839, in Dublin. Both men were Cabinet Makers. Can find no record of the family in England prior to 1871, so assume they arrived from Ireland before that.

William married Catherine Knowles from Cork in 1863 (in London), and Marie Barley in 1887, buit its what happened befor 1871 I 'm interested in. Don't even know if he had siblings, althougth he must have .
