John Statham (Jnr)

a typical steam train of 1839 - this engraving was called 'second-class1839'

This John shows up in all the Census records from 1841 to 1901 (except 1851). We know he was part of the family in 1851 but when you look,
there is evidence of flood damage to the records which has meant that just 3 of his siblings are shown - Emma, Elizabeth and George.

? . . . why the picture of the old steam train . . . well, I just wanted to show the technology of the time !!
