Stubbs, John; Cumberland

[Stu Stubbs NZ]

I am researching John Stubbs, thought to have been born in Cumberland about 1779; married in 1810. Held in the Manawatu Museum (Palmerston North, New Zealand) is John Stubbs' medal for service with the British Army under the Duke of Wellington during the Spanish War 1808-1814. The medal is described as:

Obverse side - Head of Queen Victoria with "Victoria Regina 1848" around the border;
Reverse side - Queen Victoria placing a laurel wreath on the head of a kneeling man, lion crouching at her feet, around the border is "To the British Army 1793-1814";
Ribbon - Maroon grosgrain with green vertical edge stripes;
Bars - Salamanca 1812, Vittoria 1813, Toulouse 1814; and
Edge - Engraved around the edge "J. Stubbs Corpl R.Arty".

Has anyone encountered him in their research (he was married three times...)?

Thank you, but possibly not. Information we have from Jane Stubbs (who managed the Stubbs One Name Study) suggests John Stubbs' parents were yet another John Stubbs (b 1748, curate at Sebergham, m 1772) and Mary Blaylock. But that same information also suggests that John's grandfather was a George Stubbs (ch 1719 son of John and Eleanor at Stanwix) who married a Elizabeth Thompson of Borran Hill 1747.
