The 1881 census has John at home (aged 17) in Mary Tavy with his mother Betsy, step-father Mathew Northey, brother Matthew and various step- brothers and sisters. In that census he is shown as a copper miner, as are all the other male family members.
Sometime following 1881 he moved to live in Liverpool and marries Florence Annie Griffiths (b. 1865 Liverpool) in late 1887 (their marriage registered Toxteth Park Sep Qtr that year).
