Thankyou very much for everyones help.I was convinced my Elizabeth drummond was the one who married Edward Johnson but now I believe it was John Queenan she married at the tender age of 16. I will check parish records at sunderland library to see which Elizabeth had a father named James Drummond to both the queenan and johnson marriages. I do hope only one has a father called james
Thanks again everyone

Do come back and let us know :-D

A theory - pure speculation - re the Elizabeth who married Edward Johnson (just in case she turns out to be the one you want!):-

I think this is her in 1861, with her husband absent somewhere, maybe abroad (see 1871 below).

The daughter Elizabeth H was born 1856:

Births Dec 1856 (>99%)
Johnson Elizabeth Hannah Sunderland 10a 360

Several Elizabeth Johnsons died in Sunderland 1861-71,
so here's Elizabeth Hannah Johnson in 1871, with father Edward and new wife Catherine D, born in Hamburg. Presumably they married in Hamburg:

Can't find them after that.
This might perhaps be his death, although the age is slightly out:


England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915 about Edward Johnson

Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1877
Age at Death: 53

After that, perhaps Catherine went back to Germany, as there's no later record of her
Maybe Elizabeth Hannah went with her, or married or died.
Can't find any conclusive records for her.

As I said, just a theory!

Thanks again argyllgran I intend a visit to records office friday so hope I have more to go on
I will let you and K/T know what I find.

To the kind people that helped. The Elizabeth Drummond that married John Queenan in 1847 is the Elizabeth from my family as the father of the bride is James a mariner which matches my earlier records
Thanks for all the help given
