    In June 1889 he married Marr Elizabeth Bean  born at Sledmere c.1868 - who it appears already had one child - (Son George Bean born in 1886) this union had at least two children between 1889-1902.  (Source Ref Driffield 9d497)

First Child.   Son Richard was born at Sledmere October 1889. 

Second Child.   Daughter Annie was born in 1896. Birth registered in the Hessle district of Hull under reference HES/34/485.

    Early life was spent in the East Riding Village of Kilnwick, before moving to the booming town of Hull around 1890.  In 1891 John and Elizabeth George and Richard were residing at 2 St Brunswick Terr, Tomlinson Street, Hull, Yorkshire. Housing was in abundance because of the industrial output and many migrating people came to the area.

     Originally in 1881 John's occupation was declared to be an Agricultural Worker.   At the census of 1891 he is declared to be a General Labourer.  However, from an entry in the marriage certificate of son Richard to Martha, he is declared as a plater.   This links into the period of time when the railways were booming and Paragon Railway Station in Hull was being built.   

 In 1901 they are found at Glasgow Street  Hull, Yorkshire.   John is now declared to be working as a platelayer on the railways.

     It is interesting to note that Marr Elizabeth's brother Robert Bean b.c. 1874 is now residing with them, having left the family home of Monument Cottage, Sledmere.   Aged 24, 'Living on own means'?  10 years earlier he had been a servant at The Grange, Sledmere, Yorkshire.

     It is probable that he worked for GNER (Railways) for it is known that his brother William(1855) was working for the railways at this time.    

   The family moved to 38 Chiltern Street, Hull, Yorkshire sometime during 1905.   John tragically died 3rd January 1910 aged 48 at 38 Chiltern Street, and is buried alongside his wife Marr Elizabeth in plot 30365, compartment 493.  The grave was visited in June 2001.  No headstone remains.
