because everything is done over the internet these days, I didn't think it was a real issue putting the thread on the Australian site because I have had more luck there. sorry for putting my thread in the wrong place

I think we need to do some more research before placing the thread on the English site, it's just knowing were to start
 Thank again for all you have done

FindMyPast have the Canterbury area parish registers including St Margaret at Cliffe.  From a quick look I can only see one other child to George's parents but it's not a John.  However, the register for 1787-1791 is a bit feint unfortunately so there could have been other children to them.  There are quite a lot of Hobdays in Kent anyway so worth you taking a look at Findmypast.

I think you need to gather all the information that you can about John (supposedly from Kent) and then we can look from there.  What resource gives his birthplace and date?  Census?  Marriage?  Death/burial?  Children?  Residences?  etc. etc..
