|biography =John’s father, a [[w:Signalman (rail)|Railway Relief signalman]] working on the [[w:Settle–Carlisle line|Settle to Carlisle line]], had the fortune of having a job working for one of the larger railway companies, either [[w:Midland Railway|Midland Railway]] or [[w:London and North Western Railway|London and North Western Railway]]. This had one drawback, to relocate to wherever the work was available. This meant on occasion having to travel greater distances, although it is highly possibly he remained in the north of England. Due to such occupational circumstances the family moved from town to town living in at least three different counties: Durham, Yorkshire and Westmorland, which they did from the time of their marriage and birth of their first son Thomas in 1872, to the birth of their last child Lizzie in 1890. They were just like any other family of the time, trying to get by the best way they could.
 
By 1891 John, only two years old was living with the whole family at 74 South Street in Carlisle. Within ten years the family had relocated to Appleby where only John and his older sister Minnie were the only dependant siblings living at ‘Belgravia’ in [[Bongate]]. Belgravia was a row of houses by the Appleby&ndash;Kendal railway line and lived in specifically by railway workers at the time. Today, modern housing is located on the plot where the original houses used to stand. Nothing of the original houses remain.
