Trying to find Edward R Johnson (dob 11May1882) married to Lucy Jane Godden dob17Sep1886 - I believe had three children, living in Greenwich, london area, when/where did he die?

Have you tried looking for info on freebmd???

What was his second name?

Thanks Flick, you are quick! I'm new to this - what is freebmd???
Think second name is Robert. How do you get the death so quickly not knowing a year? I'm impressed = any way of knowing if this is the johnson married to Godden?

Not seeing an obvious one - any more info on their children to help please?

Children: possibly Albert dob 1900c, Ivy 1908c, Stanley William 12.04.1916 (my father) - thanks for help.

There is this marriage but not to Lucy by the look of it.

I wonder if it was a second marriage for Lucy?

thanks for that; I have Godden/Johnson wedding 1904 too - gives me something to work on with the bmd site you have steered me towards.

The only way to get more info would be to buy the death cert

It won't have his exact DOB, or any details of who he married.....but the name etc of the person registering it may help you to decide if it's the right one.

It will tell you what his occupation had been...............which should enable you to cross-refer with the info on his marriage cert.........and the birth certs of his children

I just looked on Ancestry for the name.........the area of death matched your info, and the age at death fitted with the birth date you gave.

The rest of the people on the 1904 marriage entry.............Lucy's page number is probably wrongly transcribed

i dont know how to thank you both enough for your help. I hope once I get more into this, I will be able to help some one else too. I may put in a request for assistance with Ivy and Albert when I get back to it tomorrow.

I can only find one birth for Lucy Jane Godden..........three years earlier than your info

Ha, that is dedication! You trawled through all the patient names too. I gathered that was her too; I believe her possible daughter Ivy was with Lucys parents in Kent as in 1911 she appears to be with William and Mary Godden in Ashford Kent, registered as granddaughter. which makes sense if Lucy was in hospital. ok, dinner time.

Where was EDWARD born?

There is no birth registration in England/Wales in 1882

No, I didn't trawl through the patients' names,

I searched for her using the correct birth year
