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!
