• General Notes

  SAMUEL JOHN  was born at Enfield on the 26th July 1818 and
  baptised at St Andrews church. He married Ann Esther Till on the
  13th December 1840 at St Botolph`s Church Aldersgate London. The
  residential address shown on the marriage certificate is 9 Arthur
  St. London Bridge. Ann Esther was the daughter of John and Esther
  Till. John Till was a seaman and latterly a Leather Embosser and
  Bookbinder. Ann Esther was baptised at St Mary`s Church Lambeth
  on the 25th of January 1820. Shortly after their marriage they
  moved to 6 Norman Buildings City Road, St Lukes. Samuel John died
  of consumption on the 8th January 1866 aged 48. He died at Nags
  Head Court,Whitechapel. I have been unable to trace the recorded
  death of Ann Esther his wife but my inquiries lead me to believe
  that she died in 1852 shortly after the birth of her youngest
  daughter Eliza. It was at this time that Samuel John put all of
  his children into the care of his mother, their grandmother, at
  Enfield. During his short life Samuel had many occupations, and
  the official records of the time describe him variously as a
  tobacconist, snuff manufacturer, carman and porter. He moved
  house as many times and known addresses are given in his Birth
  Brief. Samuel John`s life appears to be typical of the difficult
  times in which he lived.
