Hi
I found John on the 1851 census aged 32 and a joiner still living in Sunderland
He is with his wife and daughter Mary
I like his wifes name before she was married. Isabella Smurfit Hunter, that was posh. They were married on 5th August 1839 in Sunderland.
As you might have seen him on the 1881 census he is a widower living with Mary Hannah aged 24 and her husband William Wake and two daughters
Do you know his middle name is Wilson?
regards
Sandymc
