John married Sarah in Warsop, Nottinghamshire. Their daughter Elizabeth's marriage certificate (1850 - at Cottingham) shows John's occupation
was a porter and spirit merchant/grocer. In the 1851 census (Cottingham) Sarah was shown as being married rather than widowed,
but John's whereabouts are not known.
