    Notes:

    Stewart Johnson writes (2002):

    "My name is Edward Stewart Johnson (known as Stewart) born in 1939 to Harold and Edith (nee Haigh) Johnson. My father Harold was the son of Bertie and Annie Edith Johnson and Annie's maiden name was Spearpoint. It was while tracing her ancestry that I came across your work. What is interesting though is that there appear to be no records of her Spearpoint branch or of the related family anywhere on the internet.

    "Annie Edith was born on 13th June 1876 in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire to Ann Spearpoint formerly Snowden and John Spearpoint who was the son of Ingram and Sarah Spearpoint born on 28th February 1849. John appears from the internet entry ID1352 to have died in 1914 in Wharfedale, Yorkshire. No other details appear to be known about him.

    "In fact John Spearpoint was married in Bermondsey, London on 24th May 1874 to Ann Snowden daughter of Isaac Snowden and Sarah Snowden (nee Hobson) both of Sheffield Yorks. Ann was born in 1851 the year after Isaac and Sarah's marriage on 26th Dec 1850. Ann and John then had my grandmother and also a son. Then the rest gets woolly. Apparently Ann either died in England or in the US, but the story is that they emigrated to the US in the late 1870s, but that Annie was sent back to England around 1880 care of the purser and we thought that father John stayed on in America with his son, that is until we noted his death in Wharfedale in 1914 (I must get the death certificate). Annie was brought up by the Snowdens in Sheffield until she met Bertie Johnson and married him there on 24th November 1894. The only record I have of Spearpoints crossing the atlantic is in 1877 on the SS City of Richmond from Liverpool to New York (18 June). The manifest lists Mary Spearpoint aged 24 "wife" and John Spearpoint aged 1 "infant". I don't know who they are unless baby John was the Spearpoint (son of Ingram and Caroline Isabella Cogan) who died in Rosella, NSW Australia in 1938. But I cannot trace Mary."

    To see about Spearpoint individuals coming through New York, I checked the http://www.ellisisland.org/search/ site but there was only the one Spearpoint below. From 1892 to 1924, more than 22 million immigrants, passengers, and crew members came through Ellis Island and the Port of New York. The ship companies that transported these passengers kept detailed passenger lists, called "ship manifests."

    Name: Spearpoint, Lillian Ethnicity: U.S.A., U.S.A. Date of Arrival: August 02, 1922 Age on Arrival: 38y Gender: F Ship of Travel: President Polk Port of Departure: London, Middlesex, England, UK

    Lillian Spearpoint was a member of the ship's crew and would have been born about 1884. This could be her married name, rather than maiden name. Her place of residence was not listed.

    However, any individuals undertaking pre-1892 travel to NY are not included, so the Spearpoint information for the earlier period you are seeking would not be listed. I was disappointed not to find subsequent cross-Atlantic travel via NY.



    Bertie married Annie Edith SPEARPOINT on 2 Nov 1894 in Sheffield, , Yorkshire, England. Annie (daughter of John SPEARPOINT and Ann SNOWDEN) was born on 13 Jun 1876 in Wellingborough, , Northampton, England; died on 27 Mar 1966 in Bridlington, , Yorkshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
