Thank you Jane and Deyrick for taking the time to research for me .I have looked at John White (the shoemaker) and although dates and times match the occupation for John does not seem right because he was supposed to be a 'white collar worker'. although the occupation'shoemaker' did ring a bell because i remember my mum telling me that her uncle was a shoemaker, so i thnk I will try and trace him back and see if he had a cousin called John. Hopefully I will get some joy there.
Many thanks again
Antonette
