I have an Isabella Johnson born abt 1821 in Teviotfield, Northumberland on the 1861 census and Westmoreland on the 1871 census. I have not been able to find a Teviotfield. Her father is listed as John Johnson on her marriage license in 1844 to Thomas Stanistreet in the parish of Eccles, Lancashire. Have looked for her as single on the 1841 census and found several servant girls in the pendleton, Lancashire area abt her age but can not pinpoint one as my Isabella. If you have a Johnson data base could you look for an Isabella dau of John born in Teviotfield abt 1821 that went to Pendleton, Lancashire by 1844.

I have an Isabella Johnson/Johnstone born 1857 Shields, Northumberland. Her mother was Elizabeth...I don't have a father's name. She was my great grandmother. She married Charles Henry May.
