Hello again.  I was hoping that someone might have access to Cornish parish records to find his birth.

Cant find Baptism for him CornwallOPC/Familysearch or FreeREG

But if he married Emma CURTIS, 11 July 1891 then the Record on CornwallOPC has him a illegitimate.

There is also a ELIZA Coliver Baptism, 23 June 1865, Mother ELIZABETH, Illegitimate, abode Union Workhouse.

EDIT just noticed 1911 with different Wife, so may be not same man who married Emma.

Hello Trish
Thank you for your input.  In 1901 John was still in Cornwall (at least I think that's him) unmarried and living with his uncle and probably mother.  I think his middle name was Jose and if his mother was Elizabeth Jane Colliver she was baptised  in 1847 Wesleyan Methodist Stithians, father William.
As John was a farm labourer I assume that he travelled to Hertfordshire for work.  His wife Emily was the daughter of Jeremiah Pearman and his wife Elizabeth who were farmers so perhaps he came to work on their farm.  :)
