Yes there is a very very strong Johnson Link through both Lucy Dingley and her brother James Dingley (b.1781).
I though maybe I might use this as a good place to submit some new names to Black Country Connections. Would you perhaps check these names out mumbles and would the both of you give me a hand in getting them on the tree?
The most interesting point about this is that the last name on the list Benjamin Johnson (b. 1919 d. 2006) is acording to a "living relative" a descendant of both Lucy and James.
Here is the information I have on James's (1781) descendants:

Harry, I have checked out on my records and your details are correct fown to Minnie & Benjamin I also found a Benjamin C. Johnson born Kings Norton 1919 vol.6d page 74 mothers maiden name Holmes I found Brinton Census details for 1881,1891,1901 (Brenton in 1901) I Have details of Nancy Bakers ancestors from my Baker line :- Parents were Thomas & Hephzibah of Mincing Lane Nailer Regards Mumbles
Harry, I have inserted Dingley details and the Baker details and noted that Suki has already posted Brinton details with link back from Benjamin to Johnsons aready posted. All that needs to be done to make connection is to Join what I have inserted to Suki's Mary Ann Unknown who married George Brinton to Mary Ann Dingley daughter of James & Nancy. This needs to be carefully done as there is another Mary Ann Dingley born 1855 Birmingham. Regards, Mumbles
Hey, Minnie Brinton is my 5th cousin! - Through her mother's Taylor line. I've just entered the connecting links and now she has lots of pretty colours next to her name.
