Thanks to Ken Turner , Debbie Gomersall , Roy Stockhill , i do appreciate your replies , thats great You may be right in your questions but i think i am right in the East Bradford in Yorkshire but!!!! Yes i have been known to be wrong , let me go back to the 1841 census where John and Mary JOHNSON are living in Clitheroe , in the " where born " column there is a Y for Mary , i took this not to be a Yes for born in Lancashire but rather a Y for Yorkshire because there is the letter L used in this column Lets move on to the 1851 census , John JOHNSON was born Ripley Yorkshire Mary JOHNSON born Do ( underneath Yorkshire) East Bradford Perhaps if some sks on this list has online access to both 1841 and 1851 census perhaps they can offer an opinion on the handwriting ?? Did notice on the 1851 census that both John and Mary had a tick in the " Whether blind, or deaf and dumb" column. There is some other circumstancial evidence which may or not prove anything , but William Johnson ( son of John and Mary ) my gggrandfather moved to Bradford area after he married Ruth LORD at Haslingden 1851 ( would you believe the day after the census) after John 1851 and Mary 1859 died maybe to work for relatives?? And Abraham the youngest child of John and Mary i think died at Bradford 1872 , now this is again after John and Mary died , he could have moved there to be with with relatives ?? I know this is all conjecture but sometimes having a theory does help Thank you all again Brian Johnson West Australia
