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.
