My grandmother Connie (born Constance Maud Mary Lubbock) came from quite a large family, which included a sister Winifred Clara Lubbock.
Winifred married James Gilbert Johnson who was born around 1889, in Norwood, Surrey. They had two boys, Stanley Derrick Johnson born 1913 and Reginald James Johnson born 1915. Through this blog, I am now in touch with the descendants of Reginald ‘Reg’ James Johnson (a cousin of my father Jay).
Reg / Reggie was born on the 13 September in London and died on 17 March 1994, in Bournemouth, England. He was a very well-known and highly respected film cameraman in the innovative early days of British cinema. His filmography notes attribute the following quote to him:
“Nothing is a good idea, until dad has thought of it first”.
He is particularly known for his camerawork on the films: Operation Amsterdam, The 39 Steps, and Violent Playground. He also has a wide range of other credits.
