2. | Edward JOHNSON (1.Anne1) was born in 1588 in Cornhill, London, London, England; was christened on 29 Sep 1588 in London, England; died in Jul 1643 in of Stepney, London, England. Notes:
He is listed as a "Saylor" in his son Edmund's baptismal record. If he is the one born in 1588 in Cornhill, London, London, England, some of his relatives are listed as Shipwrights. This would explain his eldest son, Edmond's interest in travel to the colonies and Edmond's being trained in carpentry making this theory more plausible. Son Edmund also left from London to come to the colonies. Stepney is in downtown London. Edward moved from Ratcliff to Lymehouse/Limehouse by 1612.
Here are the other Edwards that could be him, but lived at a somewhat further distance to London where he married Ysabell according to FreeReg.uk.org.

Edward Johnson - 7 January 1588
St Andrew by the Wardrobe with St Ann Blackfriars, London, England, United Kingdom, son of William (next closest match)
Out of these, I am theorizing that Edward is the one born in Cornhill, London, England. His father's name fits into the family tree. He lived closest to Bishopsgate, London, England where he could have met his wife. He was of a correct age to marry. He was a sailor with relatives who were shipwrights who could have taught his son, Edmond, carpentry as the trade he came to the American colonies with. Since his son was the first born son and came to America, it suggests the family did not have a lot of money for their first born need to make his way in the world instead of inheriting wealth from his parents.
Edward married Ysabell (Elizabeth) LLEWELLEN on 6 Sep 1607 in St Botolph Bishopsgate, London, England. Ysabell was born before 1596 in of Bishopgate, London, England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
