The 1861 Census finds him at age "31" living with his wife and their first child at Acton Green in Acton where he was occupied as a wheelwright. Lodging with him was his older and widowed cousin Bartholomew John (1).
The 1871 Census finds the family still living at Acton Green where John (2) was occupied as a wheelwright and blacksmith employing one man and a boy. Also in the household was a visitor Edward Goodrich who may have been a son of John (2)'s married sister Harriot Elizabeth (1).
