Baptised 17 Oct 1824 at Worthington, parents William and Jane. Greg Wardell-Johnson originally believed he died in the mid 1840s, but after finding a "long-lost relatives" request by his brother Laban Johnson in 1898, has now established that he sailed from East India Dock in London in 1849 for Canterbury Settlements, Melbourne, Australia, and was last heard of in 1850 at Ballarat, about 116km west of Melbourne.
