I wonder if someone can help me "Find" my G Grandfather, Joseph Backhouse Johnson, in around 1901? I can follow him from his birth in Warrington Lancs. On the 14 October 1849, right through to his Burial on the 1 May 1914 in Halifax, EXCEPT for the 1901 Census. I Have his wife, Louisa, as Head of the household, along with 4 children at 76 Rhodes Street, Halifax, And I have him again in 1911 living with his son Charles, 17 Lorne St. Halifax, but nothing in 1901. I wondered if, as he was a wholesale Grocer, he went abroad on business, but as my subscription to Ancestry.co.uk does not include Ships Passengers Lists, I wondered if anyone could find him for me? I am also intrigued as to the "Backhouse" part of his name as it doesn't appear anywhere in the Johnson tree (that I can see). Regards Mike mike.johnson at johnpall.co.uk
