I'm getting quite excited! If your John Church the tailor married Elizabeth Burton, then we are talking about the same family. My John Church was, of course, the brother of the aforementioned Rhoda and Mercy, who married my gt-grandfather's older brothers.
Looking at the family tree of a descendant of John Church on Genes Re, I can't quite follow the line you are talking about, but I don't agree with some of the items on there, anyway. One of us must be wrong!
I don't think I can know Easton as well as I thought, as your description doesn't match my memory of it - or are we talking about Spaldwick? All I remember of Easton is the road winding down from the main Huntingdon Road and curving round to a sort of common (The Green?) with a stream running through it. The church was on that road and a row of cottages, one of which had been the pub (The Crown?) but is now poshed up to the nines in black and white and thatch.
Regards,
Gill

I am unsure of John's wife's surname but I do know she was born in Ellington. If Richard and Hannah were married in 1820 it is highly likely that John was their firstborn in 1821.Spaldwick is very small so the chances of two John Churchs must be small. Certainly family only ever spoke of one....... what a character he was too. Just got to find the proof !
I have a photograph of Three ways in Spaldwick but at the minute am having no luck sending it to you.
My computer is newish to me and its system is different to my old Mac laptop and at present it rules me!!
Our branch of the Church family died out two years ago.

I'll send you my email address in a PM. You can attach the photo to it more easily that way. I have a great photo of John's sister Rhoda Church in her old age which I can scan and let you have.
Cheers,
Gill
Incidentally, there are quite a few Church researchers on Genes. Are you a member?
