Wow thank you for that. I really didn't expect me afternoon to end up down this road  :o :o

So we now have to assume, one of 2 things - the death and subsequent burial is not him OR he only served 10 years of that last prison sentence.

So now just to find out whether he served all of those 15 years in Norwich or whether he was moved to Pentonville and that photo is him.

A BIG update

I messaged the owner of the tree who had the photo of John. He is the 3x great grandson of John. He has loads of information that he is going to send me concerning John. He also has information about the communications he had with his family during that time.

Thank you all once again for your help
