My Family Tree - Earp, JOHN

Narrative

John was the fifth child from a family of 10 children, all baptised at St Michael, Adbaston, and all born in Adbaston Heath, which was 3 miles from future wife Jane's family in Eccleshall.
John worked as a Hostler, looking after horses for an Inn.
1798 John married Jane in Eccleshall, where she was baptised, and where they lived there for the baptisms of their six children 1800-1808.
Between 1808 and 1810 they moved to Stafford, where Jane died, leaving John to raise their young family of six children aged 1 to 9.
1823 eldest son Thomas 23 married Sarah Lawton in Stafford, where they had 4 children.
1824 daughter Sarah 23 married Joseph Bray in Forton, about 6 miles from Stafford. Joseph was a Blacksmith employing 2 men, and they had 7 children. Joseph probably met Sarah via her father John, as they were both working with horses.
1826 John died and is buried at St Mary Stafford. Son Thomas is now the head of the family.
