Of Pengegon in the burial record, which record shows his age as 68 years. However, this has to be incorrect, as there was no Johnson Vivian born c.1830. Note that his ages given in the two Censuses prior to his death were out, so one can only assume that the informant on his death got his age wrong. He was closer to 72 years of age when he died. His wife Elizabeth was buried in 1889 in Tuckingmill, aged 51 years and shown also as of Pengegon.
Marriage Information:
Johnson married Elizabeth GRANGEY about 1862. (Elizabeth GRANGEY was born about 1837 in Crowan, Cornwall and was buried on 18 May 1889 in Tuckingmill All Saints, Camborne, Cornwall 3.)
