Default Henry JOHNSON

Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Henry Johnson
Date and place of birth
Probably 23 March 1807, Bethnal Green
Names of parents
Probably Thomas Johnson and Mary Ann nee Highland
Date and place of baptism - if applicable
Probably 19 April 1807 at St Matthew Bethnal Green
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any
Married Elizabeth Ann Franklin 28 Jun 1830 at St John Hackney.

Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!).
1829-1835 - Crown Court Shoreditch

Lindsay, have you seen this baptism? http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=6560841

They're at Crown Court, occ weaver but it's another Henry which is odd

Thanks for looking, Asa.

I think that's a mistake. There's an identical baptism, but for Elizabeth on the same date with the same dob - presumably the original and the BT. There's an Elizabeth of the right age with the family in the census.
