Research Notes
Parentage
While the records are consistent in asserting that John was born at Horkstow about 1810, I have been unable to find a baptism record, or any information on who his parents might be.
The names of his two sons, namely Walker and Twidale, are suggestive of a connection to John Twidell and his wife Jane Walker. John and Jane were the parents of Mary Twidale who married Richard Stamp. Richard and Mary were having children at Horkstow over the period 1807 to 1824, and so would appear to be excellent candidates. They did not have a known son called John. However, I have found no baptism record, nor, indeed, any gaps in the children's birth years when John might have been born.
Another consideration is that John Stamp and his wife Sarah were also having children at Horkstow about 1810. I know almost nothing about them at the moment.
Returning to the John of this profile, since he remarried in 1870, his marriage certificate should name his father. The certificate is not immediately available online, therefore I ordered it from the UK GRO. It confirms a) his age of 60, and b) his father as Richard Stamp. Therefore, I will add John as a son of Richard and Mary.
Daughter Mary
John's daughter Mary, married William Crow at Sigglesthorne, Yorkshire, on 28 January 1861.[35]
