He was the son of Henry and Mary Alice Johnson of 34, Bower Street, Carlisle. His father was a colour sergeant in the Border Regiment and as he is recorded as having been born in India (Central Provinces), it seems likely this was a military family. Bernard had a sister, Eva Mary, who was nine years younger; another sibling had died. In the 1901 Census, Bernard was living with his mother and grandparents and three of his aunts in Wandsworth London. His maternal grandfather, John Fennessey, from Ireland, was a Superintendent of Police, Pension Office, having risen through police ranks.
