I am trying to find any family members or any research information regarding my grandparents family. HENRY ALBERT JOHNSON AND LUCY ROBINSON JOHNSON. Henry was a tailors cutter. My grandmother LUCY DIED IN BIRMINGHAM AT HER SONS HOUSE IN 38 WOODFIELD ROAD. IN 1943

From County Durham and/ or Liverpool, then Ireland, then Liverpool, some in Birmingham some in Nottingham.

FATHER: Arthur James Johnson. DOB 31/05/1901 Eire. of british parents.

ARTHUR OR JOHN as he was known; SIBLINGS- some of> Joy Ethelreah.. ;Violet Evelyn,; Henry Lawrence,; Myrtle Grace,; Victor;, Robert; Eva; Albert(present at Lucy's death) Blanche; Mark. Harold.

ARTHUR'S FIRST MARRIAGE to Ethel May Powell a widow from West Derby, Liverpool. Her father was Edgar James Wormold a Newsagent in Liverpool opposite the race course.

During the war Arthur,Ethel and the children moved to Yorkshire to Luddenden near Halifax. Arthur joined the army as a Lorry Driver.

I think Vic's two children were Christine and Rosemary. Their mother Winni later divorced Victor. Rumour is that Vic bought some picture houses ( Movie theatres) after he sold the club.

Arthur or John's sister in law was MAY, of 128 SPRINGFIELD RD KINGSHEATH BIRMINGHAM. I think she may have been widowed. her family came down from County Durham to live with her.
