On 21 December 1912 in the Derby Register Office Charles Johnson (Labourer) married Rose Hannah Bosley (Cashmere Winder) from their mutual home at 51 Rivett Street, Derby. Rose, who was born in 1886 in the hamlet of Yeldersley nr Ashbourne, Derbyshire had previously had a partner, a Harry Adkins to whom she had borne two children, Harry (c1905) and Rose Alice, aka Alice Rosannah (1909). Neither was taken into the new Johnson family and are assumed to have been informally adopted into a family named Green (in the care of an uncle named Albert Green), eventually settling in Wirral, Cheshire. Charles, born c1881, gave his status as bachelor and occupation as a builder's labourer at the date of his marriage and was the son of Joseph Johnson, a joiner. Rose Hannah declared her status to be spinster implying a non-formal relationship with her previous partner. Charles and Rose are believed to have had two further children, possibly both daughters, as the result of this union, but Rose sadly died from TB aged 31 on 21 November 1916 in Derby. I would welcome any information that might lead to (1)updating Charles Johnson's subsequent life (2)tracing the issue of this marriage which on the balance of probability will by now be at second or later generation level or(3)identifying any existing member of the Green family which is believed to have settled in Wirral, Cheshire (now Merseyside).
