Biography

John Ware was born in Exeter, Devon, England in about 1840.

His father was the innkeeper at the Devonport Inn in Exeter, Devon from at least 1828 until he died in 1847. John's mother became the innkeeper until 1860 and she died in 1870.

John does not appear in the census of 1841. Although his parents and eldest sister Maria were at the inn, he and his other two sisters were not present and may have been staying elsewhere.

In the census of 1851, John was living with his mother and 3 sisters at the inn.

In the census of 1861, he appears to have been working as a draper's assistant in London, aged 19 or 20.

In the census of 1881, he was widowed and working as a commercial traveler and was staying with his sister Fanny and her husband Edgar who managed a hotel in Castle St Exeter.

He was remarried in 1887, to Augusta Mountstevens (b 1858).
