We devote five pages to the descendants of George Johnson and Sarah Batchelor, a family long established in the Stepney/St George in the East area of London. It was connected over several generations to the tobacco cutting and rolling trade. They had links by marriage to the Chapple and Parris families. The Oxford Dictionary of Family names describe it as a relationship name from the personal John and the patronymic -son. It’s not the easiest name to research as several Johnson families lived in this area during the latter half of the 19th century. We cannot find any common ancestor. If you have a connection to any in dividual or family featured here, or if you want to leave us your feedback, tap or click the icon to contact us .
