Hello rosie and rolnora,

Thank you both for your information -I have FindMyPast but could not find that entry!
I am wondering now if John was perhaps married two or three times to an Elizabeth ?  It does say widower in 1809 and there is a 22 year gap between the age of Elizabeth in 1841 and 1851.
This just seems to get more mysterious all the time...
I appreciate your assistance very much.

Kind regards from Joan

The records can be found on FindMyPast in their Canterbury Collection

It does say baptisms don't start until 1841 but they do

The good thing is he has signed the register so you have a signature to compare

Have you looked for the birth registrations of the children?  After 1911 the mother's maiden name is shown in the GRO index, usually used to check you have found the right entry but in this case you could get some clues there.

You will have to ignore my links for the baptism & marriage - FindMyPast are apparently having problems which they know about     

Have you looked for the birth registrations of the children? 

The children were born before the start of registration
