John is my 4 x GGF, his wife is Elizabeth and they had 11 children in Doncaster between 1810 and 1828. His occupation is a painter on the baptisms. Historical directories for 1822 and 1827-8 have him as a painter, guilder and carver.
I have known for a long time that his wife and some of the children were in Nottingham by 1841 and have a death certificate for John Everitt dated 12 Dec 1838. He is down as a fender maker and aged 70 and died of old age. The informant was William Hopkin occupier Middleton Place Lenton.
This certificate was dismissed as not the right one way back in 2008. The occupation and age were wrong. I decided he must have died in Doncaster and all the family then came to Nottingham.
Recently I have been relooking at this and found he was made bankrupt in Doncaster 29 Jan 1830. It is in most of the newpapers. Then found in 1832 he is a bit of a con-man in Nottingham buying off people or at auction in Doncaster and then not paying for the items and selling them for very little money.
I am now beginning to wonder if this is him now and he died in a workhouse in Lenton but can't find much on him. His wife died in 1842 and is buried at the General Cemetery but he was buried at St Nicholas church. Elizabeth's death cert says she is the wife of John a painter.
I know quite a lot about the family so just need views and advice on this death or one that fits him.
I think he was born about 1780-1 but not really sure about this.
Thanks for reading all this and please ask if you need anymore info.
