What is your connection with the JOHNSON's. My JOHNSON's come from George. Do you have any connection to this family/ I also have an EmmaAnna BEST who married a John Graham JOHNSON in about 1868.

Hi Lynette My apologies for taking such a long time to reply. My JOHNSON connection: My grandfather Henry Stephen JAMES, born 22 May 1873, d.12 Oct 1950, PE Married 1st wife: Gertruida Wilhelmina Johanna JOHNSON. b abt.1838, d.2 Jan 1925, PE. Buried at South End, PE. On the gravestone (eggsa) it says she was 87 yrs old, which would mean she was 35 yrs older than him, so I don’t think there could be any children between the 2 of them. I am in search of the names of her parents and brothers and sisters, but up to now couldn’t trace anything about her birth or whereabouts when and before she got married to my grandfather. If I can find that, I’m sure I’ll be able to bring the connection with other JOHNSON links. I have a copy of the Master of the Supreme Court which shows their address at the time of her death as Fairview Estate, Walmer side, PE. According to my mother Fairview Estate was the house where she grew up and the street address was #18, 17th Avenue, Walmer, PE. Unfortunately the surname BEST sounds unfamiliar to me, BUT on the other hand, my mother knows nothing at all about the JOHNSON side of the family and won’t know if there maybe was a BEST married into the family. She was the youngest child and away in a boarding school during her school years and there wasn’t much opportunity to come to know more of the family. I’m going to put the info of the previous generations on the ZA-EC mailing list for the other people to see. Hopefully it will be before the end of the weekend, and hopefully it will lead to lots of new connections, for some other people and for me. I really want to have a “mini” Family Tree finished by Dec to give to my mother for Christmas.
