Hello Listmembers,
Some time ago I asked the List if anyone had any information on Thomas (I, J or T) JOHNSON of Valley Brisbane, and I thought that it might be time to post my query again.

On 23 January 1867 my husband's great grandparents John PHAIR and Elizabeth STEPHENS/STEVENS were married at Mr. JOHNSON'S residence. As Elizabeth was shown as a Housekeeper, I feel that she would have been in Mr JOHNSON'S employ.

I have no idea how or when Elizabeth arrived in Brisbane and I am wondering if she could have come to Australia either to be employed by Mr JOHNSON or actually with the JOHNSON family. I have traced her in the 1861 England Census where she was employed as a domestic servant.

I would be very interested to find out more about Thomas JOHNSON. It would seem that he was a man of means if he was able to employ a housekeeper.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Margery
