I wonder if Arthur had a brother called Harry? If he did then the Martha who married a Harry Johnson in 1923 could possibly have been a sister-in-law to Arthur. He could still have called her "our Marth".

Just an idea.

I thought the marriage to Nellie seemed right. She died June qtr, of 1943 and the second marriage was the Sept. qtr. of 1943. A bit soon but perfectly possible.

There is this marriage in Bramley (might be worth getting the certificate to see who her father is). She marries another Johnson!!!:-

Name: Martha Johnson
Spouse: Harry Johnson
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1923
Registration district: Bramley
Registration county (inferred): Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume Number: 9b
Page Number: 499

This one could match up with the Martha born Bramley in 1898.

Kay,

It would have helped if you had given us Arthur's middle name in the first place.

This seems to be a possible birth for him:-

Name: Arthur Reginald Johnson
Year of Registration: 1900
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Pocklington (1837-1937)
County: Yorkshire - East Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 72

How can i order birth certif not sure his date of birth the R stands for reginald.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 3 Oct 2010 16:06

The Arthur Rowland birth I found seems to be the only likely birth and in both marriages Arthur gives this middle initial.

I really think the only way forward is to buy this birth certificate so that you can be sure of the parent's names.
