Charles Johnson
was the father of ELIZABETH ANN JOHNSON and the maternal grandfather of WILLIAM HENRY FLUEN.
He was born near Northallerton, in Rillington cum Scampton, on 02. May 1850 (christened 06. May 1850) and died in Middlesbrough (15 Harrison Street) on 29. September 1894 (buried New Linthorpe Cemetery on 03. October 1894).
When he started his family with MARY ANN WELLS (1854-1927) in 1873, he lived in Linthorpe near Middlesbrough (Calthorpe Street). He was a labourer at the Iron Works them days, in all probability at Bolckow Waughn. 
NOTE: Bolckow, Vaughan & Co., Ltd (photos, sourced by Wikipedia) was an English ironmaking and mining company founded in 1864, based on the partnership since 1840 of its two founders, Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan. The firm drove the dramatic growth of Middlesbrough and the production of coal and iron in the north-east of England in the 19th century. The two founding partners had an exceptionally close working relationship which 
lasted until Vaughan's death. By 1907 Bolckow, Vaughan was possibly the largest producer of pig iron in the world. The firm failed to modernise at the start of the 20th century, and was closed in 1929.Charles Johnson worked as Fireman on the Railway Engines at the time of his death.
He was the youngest son of RICHARD JOHNSON (1804-1864) and MARTHA ALLEN BELL (1805-1880), who married in Settrington, Yorkshire on
11. February 1828.
Both had children:(1) Hannah Johnson (c. 1928-1891) & John Robinson (1825-1900)
NOTE: Their son, Thomas William Johnson (1862-1895), was married to Sarah Ann Marchbank (1867-1927). After his death she married then Thomas Watson Teasdale (1868-1948), who was for his part the 2nd husband of ELIZABETH ANN JOHNSON (1875-1948), daughter of CHARLES JOHNSON.

RICHARD JOHNSON sen. was the son of John Johnson and Mary Simpson. He was born in Swinton near Appleton le Street, where he was christened in the parish church on 14. September 1804. He died 04. July 1864 in Norton near Malton living 61 Mill Street them days (C1861).
Richard's family as such can be traced back to Thomas Johnson and Elizabeth Walker, both of Armley, who married 06. September 1635 at Saint Peter in Leeds. It can be presumed that Thomas Johnson and his family worked in the clothing industry like many people in Armley them days. In the 1600s Leeds was establishing itself as a major manufacturing base for the clothing industry supplied by villages all around Leeds. In the middle of the sixteenth (Thomas Watson Teasdale and Sarah Ann Robinson nee Marchbank)
century the local clothier Richard Booth leased 'Armley Millnes' from the mayor landowner Henry Saville. There is a document from 1707 which describes the mills as a Fulling Mill containing two wheels and four stocks. The workers at the mill had to spin the cloth by hand, then. Fulling was also one process of cloth production.
It involved pounding the cloth with hammers in large pits filled with urine and fullers earth, causing it to stick together or ’felt’. It made the garment as waterproof as possible and more comfortable to wear. The stink and the noise must have been unbelieveable though, but environmental and health issues were never a concern at the time as working people were seen as interchangeable, lucky to see their middle age.MARTHA ALLEN BELL was the daughter of William Bell (1783-1864) and JUDITH LAWSON (1786-1852), whose family can be traced back to Thomas Lawson and Elizabeth Mitchell, who lived mid of the 17th century in Harewood, Yorkshire near Leeds.
NOTE: The Parish records of Harewood seem to be incomplete so that it is not possible to trace the Lawson family further back. "The early registers may be briefly described as follov/s : — Vol. I. consists now of 30 parchment and 23 paper leaves, the former containing Baptisms from 16 14 to 1660 and the latter Burials for the same period and an odd half page of Marriages celebrated in 162 1. A leaf has been deliberately cut out containing Baptisms between May, 1624 and May, 1625, and the page of Burials between Oct., 1626 and Oct., 1627 is missing. Unfortunately the transcripts for those periods at York are also missing. A curious word used to describe illegitimate children is ' putified,' which by later and illiterate hands is sometimes corrupted into ' pu trifled.' Vol. II. contains 47 parchment leaves and appears to have been kept principally by Parish Clerks. " Josiah Craven Parish Clarck of Harwood entered into y« office December y^ 3d Anno Domini 1689 " is an entry on page 70.
(A fulling mill from Georg Andreas Böckler's Theatrum Machinarum Novum, 1661) Inside the cover is pasted the following : — " Memorandum. On or about the year 1796 the Vestry of Harewood Church was broken into & the Surplice & some prayer books stolen & the Register Books, then kept there were left scattered on the Floor & the Leaves missing from this Book it is supposed were taken to light a Fire. I write this for the information of my successors. Richard Hale, Vicar. Vicarage House 18 Mar. 1842." (Source: 'The parish registers of Harewood, Co. York.', edited by William Brigg, Esq., 1914)
The surname 'Lawson' as such is assumed to be of truly ancient origins. It originates in the Holy Land in so far as the etymology of the surname is concerned, being 'brought back' to England and Scotland as 'Lawrence' by the 12th century crusaders. In its earliest form as 'Law', it was a nickname of endearment, and as such had great popularity in the medieval period. The earliest origination of the name at all is pre-Christian, being derived from Laurentum, the town in Italy famous for its laurel trees. For reasons unclear, 'Lawson' is very much a north country surname. There are no less than seventeen coats of arms, all but one were granted to northern nameholders, and all seem to be associated with the Lawson family of Brough Hall, Yorkshire, whose origins are traceable back to the time of Richard III, and 'The War of the Roses'.
