I had very good help researching Sarah Jasperson Johnson the other day.
Her husband David Johnson was a norwegian too, but I struggle find him in Norway.
David Johnson lived most of his life in Aurora, Illinois.
I list up all the information I have about him.
Born December 25th 1859 in Norway
Died September 26th 1918 in Aurora, Illinois.
These dates is from findagrave, I don’t have the primary source.
He married in 1887:
Sarah Margrethe Jesperson
in the Cook County, Illinois, Marriages Index, 1871-1920
Name: Sarah Margrethe Jesperson
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Birth Year: abt 1864
Marriage Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 3 Sep 1887
Marriage Place: Cook, Illinois
Spouse Name: David Johnson
Spouse Age: 28
Spouse Gender: Male
FHL Film Number: 1030166
1900 US census:
David Johnson
Gender: Male
Birth: Dec 1858 Norway
Residence 1900: Milwaukee city, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Age: 42
Marital status: Married
Marriage: Circa 1887
Immigration: 1880
Race: White
Ethnicity: American
Wife: Sarah Johnson
Children: Gerda Johnson, Clarence Johnson, Myrtle Johnson, Alice Johnson
1910 US census:
David Johnson
Gender: Male
Birth: Circa 1859 Norway
Residence 1910: Aurora Ward 3, Kane, Illinois, USA
Age: 51
Marital status: Married
Immigration: 1879
Race: White
Ethnicity: American
Wife: Sarah M Johnson
Children: Gerda J Johnson, Clarence J Johnson, Myrtle L Johnson, Alice V Johnson, Florence B Johnson, Leonard D Johnson
The family have told that he might have been born in the Stavanger area in Norway.
I have done research on this, and I thought I had the right person in the Norwegian 1865 census.
But as you see here, this David died as early as 1885 in Norway, so can't be the right person.
I really appreciate all help finding this David in Norway and as an US immigrant. |
