  • Notes 
    • John died five months after he married. Daughter Harriet was baptised June 1873, so must have been conceived before his passing. Interestingly, her baptism entry does NOT state that John is deceased.
      <hr>On 1851 census, John Septimus, aged 2, is in the household of his cousin John Coker born C1812 at Chatham, Kent. John is a rope maker.
      Not found on 1861 or 1871 England census<hr>
