I would be grateful for any information on my great grand mother Francis Ellen Johnson thought to have been born on 8.1.1871 in London, but I have not been able to confirm this as I have been unable to find birth cert. I do know that she travelled to the U.S. A, possibly as a governess, met my great grand father John Philip Perchard and they married in Orange County Florida in 1891. They had an Orange Grove in the area which they farmed until the crop was destroyed by black blight after which they returned to England in 1900. While in the U.S Francis had three children, John Philip b. 1893, Alzina Francis b.1894 and Constance Amy. she had four more children after her return to England, William Frederick b1907 was my grandfather. I understand that Francis had a brother Thomas who was married to Lizzie possibly in 1898. They may have had a son Frederick who died age 5. I have also been told that Francis had a cousin Arthur Johnson who lived in Hoddesdon, Wembley. If any of this information sounds familiar I would love to hear from you as I have hit a dead end.
