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–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.

The Rev. A.J.W. Crosse, chaplain, has written Mrs Bardgett:<br>"I think it will be some consolation to you to know that among the bodies lately found on the battlefield and buried was that of your dear lad. A troop of cavalry attended the burial in the cemetery where most of the men in the same regiment rest. A wooden cross bears his name at the head of the grave. I send you his disc with my deepest sympathy. He died a brave death for his country, and lies near the spot where he so gloriously fell."|source=''[[Cumberland and Westmorland Herald]]''|date=''Published sometime in 1917}}
