I have found a John Sykes living in Wressle with his Parents George & Elizabeth he was listed as born 1838 Luddington but is also listed as Unmarried.
George   1809  Fackerby
Elizabeth 1810 Eastoft Lincs
William    1836  Luddington
John        1838  Luddington
Mary A     1845  Luddington
George    1852  Wressle
Emily E     1858  Wressle
This is the only John Sykes born in Luddington around 1837 listed when a name search is done.
Do you have the name of his wife maybe this would help in trying to locate him if this is not the correct John Sykes.
Regards
Lizzie
