Hello Mary, if you are trying to find living members of your family, then just put John's name into the search box above and you will see that quite a few members on this site have a John Johnson from Portsmouth in their tree. It may be worth contacting tree owners. Cx.

Mother of Maurice J Johnson was maiden name Wood.
This would be the marriage of John Henry, although bride is missing from index

Marriages Jun 1912

Johnson John H - Wood - Portsmouth 2b 1182a

Obtaining this certificate will give you the couples ages, and their respective fathers.

Help I am trying to find anyone who knows anything about John Henry Johnson. He was born in Portsmouth and had two sons Maurice and Roy. Maurice was born in 1913 and we think Roy was born about 3 or 4 years later.
