Sorry about the long delay between posts.

Computer is broken and I'm having to borrow laptop, when it's not needed by family members..........

Yes,Sylvia,I think your find for 1901 is probably correct.

He's not easy to track with such a common name and constant change of occupation.

Dea

That could have built into an interesting scenario, but I know John was alive much later........
Thanks for still searching.
