He married Elizabeth Thomas at Gwithian Parish Church on the 15th Feb 1853. They were both living in Connor Downs. Elizabeth was 23, a spinster and her father, Thomas Thomas, was a miner. Both made their mark and the witnesses were William Moon and William Mitchell. John and Elizabeth had four children, Elizabeth Mary, John, Amelia Martha and Richard. John may have died in Australia in June 1858 although this doesn't tie in very well with the date of birth of their last child, Richard, which was the 25th Jan 1859 in Camborne.
In 1841 he was living at Conner Downs and in 1851 he was in Calstocdk as a copper miner.
