Hi
I have some information on 3 John’s
John birth 6th Nov 1810, married Sarah Turner 7th June 1839 they lived in Salisbury Street in 1841 and had moved to Castle Street by 1851. Johns mother’s name was Sarah Alford his fathers name was James Edwards, I am not sure if his mother Sarah ever married, she did not take the Edwards name. John was a blacksmith so was this father and uncle
John birth 20th Feb 1839 married Rachel Chalton. He is the son of John & Sarah, John was also a blacksmith
The information I have on John & Elizabeth is incorrect I have his Birth date as 17th Nov 1587, Marriage 1825 this would make him over 200 years old, and I can find no information on them in any census
I hope this is of some help I have photos, pdf of 1841 census and other information that might be of some use
If you have any other information please let me know
Best Regards
John
