That marriage records that he was already a widower, although no trace of his first wife or marriage has yet been found. John and Hannah had one daughter, Maria, in 1873. Hannah died the following year, aged 21, and Maria was subsequently brought up by Hannah's parents. John married again in 1876 to a Mary Ann Lake, and they had a number of children together.
