    1. [WAR] Isaac Johns

    3. I'm new to this forum and have a lost ancestor, Isaac (Isiack) Johns. He was born in Hatton/Warwick on 11 December 1803, to parents Richard Johns and Ann Fairfax, and christened 26 December in Hatton. He had at least two brother brothers, Thomas and William, and a sister, Elioner. In 1827, Isaac and Lydia Warrilow had a daughter (Ellen ) who was baptised twice! Firstly as Ellen Warrilow, 21 November 1827 in Henley-in-Arden, and later as Ellen Johns, on 8 June 1828 in Hatton. I can trace Lydia and Ellen right through to the 1890s and their deaths, but can find no record of Isaac Johns after the baptism of his daughter; not in the Censuses (including workhouses) or BMD records. Later Census records for Lydia clearly record her unmarried and Ellen was raised by her Uncle Thomas before marrying, so I presume that Lydia and Isaac parted company after the birth of their daughter. Any ideas of what might have happened to Isaac? Before anyone gets too excited, IGI records show there were two Isaac Johns born around this time and in this area. The other Isaac Johns was born 7 January 1807 to Thomas and Anne Johns, and baptised 29 November in Lapworth, Warwickshire. He married a Sarah Anne Clarke of Tanworth in 1833, and I believe died in 1838 and is the Isaac Johns with a BMD GRO death entry. Any help received gratefully. Paul Jackson (born in Henley-in-Arden, now of Canberra).
