John was born in Linkinhorne, the second of five children. He was the oldest of three boys. He worked in and around the coal mines all his life.
In 1869, he married Jane Dawe a local girl. They had several children in Cornwall. Then her family, who were also miners, migrated to north Yorkshire.
There's no way of knowing if this moved was precipitated by the miners or not, but it's highly likely. The skills of the Cornish miners were highly prized by the iron and coal miner owners.
After ten to fifteen years in Brotton, YRK, the family traveled to Burnley, Lancashire where they lived and worked. John was still living there at the time of the 1911 census with his daughter and her husband.
