Entry in Stubbs Genealogy for John Stubbs "John Stubbs was born around 1831 in Nottingham to parents Joseph (1) Stubbs and his wife Harriet (nee Reddish). A christening record has not yet been found for him. The 1841 Census finds him at age "10" living with his parents in Sherwood Stree, Radford in Nottingham. The 1851 Census finds him at age "19" and unmarried, living with his widowed father in Chapel Street, Basford in Nottingham and occupied as a lace designer - lace-making then being a famed industry in Nottingham. In 1856 he married in Devon to his first wife Mary Elizabeth (nee) Warren [Marriage Index: Tiverton 5b 741, 1856 (March)], by whom he produced at least the two children listed below. She was born around 1832 in Bradninch, Devon. The 1861 Census finds him at age "30" living with his wife and first child John Warren (1) at the School House, 48, Church Street, St. Olave in Rotherhithe, Surrey. He was occupied as a teacher in a boys' school. This school was situated next to the Rotherhithe Rectory at No. 47. Mary Elizabeth died aged "38" in Rotherhithe in 1870 [Death Index: St. Olave 1d 197, 1870 (Dec)]. The 1871 Census finds John (3) at age "40" widowed and living with just his son John Warren (1) at the former address 48, Church Street in Rotherhithe. He was again occupied as a schoolmaster. Later in 1871 he remarried to Mary (nee) Warren [Marriage Index: Tiverton 5b 687, 1871 (Sept)]. She is presumed to have been a relative (perhaps a younger cousin) of his first wife, and had likewise been born in Bradninch, around 1845. At the time of the 1871 Census she had been living in the household of her brother William E. Warren - another schoolmaster - at the School House in Church Street, Paignton in Devon. John (3) and his new wife produced at least the eleven children listed below, six of whom died in infancy. The family moved from Tiverton to Truro in the spring of 1877 from the birth and death of his daughter Mary. The 1881 Census finds John (3) at age "48" living with Mary and seven children, including one from his first marriage, in Edward Street, Truro in Cornwall. He was still occupied as a schoolmaster. The 1891 Census finds John (3) at age "60" living with Mary and three children in Bampton Street, Tiverton in Devon. He was now occupied as a tobacconist. The 1901 Census finds John (3) at age "70" living with Mary and three children at 8, Bampton Street in Tiverton. He was still occupied as a tobacconist. John (3) died in the 2nd quarter of 1919, and his widow Mary in the 2nd quarter of 1930. "
