There's an article about a murder in Tollesbury in 1851, the suspect lived with John Wash (dredgerman) and his wife. During the court case a Mrs Wash, wife of Charles Wash (dredgerman) gives evidence that she was at John Wash's house on the day of the murder.

It seems likely that John and Charles, both dredgermen, and both living in Tollesbury could be relatives (especially as Charles' wife was visiting John's house).

This was the John mentioned in the article- it was Henry Harrington (the brother of Mary Wash) under suspicion- Perhaps this is Charles' brother?

I suspect John was also a Merchant seaman- the newspaper article, makes reference to John Wash's razor- when questioned, John said he bought the razor at Portland in America about 11 years ago (c1840).
