John and Mary were married in a religious ceremony on May 11th, 1778 at St. Mary (Deane) witnessed by Holland Bradley & Richard Jones.1 They had a son and a daughter, named John and Betty. There are no more children.
In 1778 John married a Widow so he was probably about 30 (or older), but just a guess. They has two children at Little Hulton, again suggesting early thirties and probably born Little Hulton. John son of John from Little Hulton, born 1764 is therefore a good match.
