Dear List, My resolution for 2004 is to try and make some headway with my Durham folk. There are a few families, so I will split them up, for ease of reading. John JOHNSON m Eleanor SIMPSON, probably about 1840-45. They had two sons I am aware of, Thomas Allan, born about 1846, and Alexander, born about 1847. Information from Australian Death Certificates gives John's occupation as Miner. Same information provided on the marriage certificate of Alexander. Alexander was married in the Methodist church. Both Thomas & Alexander migrated to Australia in the 1870's, but I have been unable to locate them with certainty, on the shipping indexes. Is anyone familiar with these families?
