I have a GGGrandfather John Johnson (birthplace unknown) who married a Mary Keaney from Roscommon and moved to the South Shields area of England. around 1850. He would have been born around 1815-1817. Do you have any background info that might help me? Terry Perth, Western Australia Patricia O'Shea wrote: Hi all - have just come into this thread.
