Hello, thank you, but unfortunately it's not the John I'm searching for, his parents were John and Martha. I have been searching for ages, seems as though he just disappeared.
Thanks again.  Sara.

Hi Sara, you have obviously searched and searched for him, just how do you know his parents were John & Martha, what else do you know of him and any siblings?

Hi Keyboard86,  thank you for your interest.

I have him on the 1841 census along with his Father John (my great x 2 grandfather ) His mother Martha and two brothers Charles William and Frederick George who were  born  about 1832 and 1835 and both Baptised in St Giles, Camberwell.

 I can find no Baptism for John.  I only have the name John for him, I found a birth record for a John Henry and just hoped it was him, unfortunately not. They lived in Grosvenor Road, Newington at the time of the 1841 census.

His father John died the following year and since then I have not been able to trace Martha, or John Jr.  Charles William, my great grandfather turned up in Bristol in 1864, married Rosina Cole he was stated to be a mariner on the Marriage Certificate, which I have since confirmed.

Best wishes, Sara.
