General Notes
John was baptised a Presbyterian.
This John travelled to the US with his sister-in-law Ellen on 1 Mar 1841 sailing on the Stephen Whitney. They reached New York on 20 April, a crossing of a little over 7 weeks. He must have come back on a steamship (but not the President as that was lost March 1841) as he was home in time for the 1841 census on 6 June. The Siddons departed NY of 25 April 1841, and arrive at Liverpool 17 or 18 May. That could be how he got back!
In 1841, John was at Dandy Row, Sharples (Astley Bridge) with his father.
John emigrated to Maryland, USA. In 1858, two years after his brother William had died he married William's widow Ellen.
In July 1863 John was put in a military prison for 7 days for selling liquor to soldiers. He was released 3 August.
