An entry in RootsWeb WorldConnect gives his birth on 3 March 1695 in Fenny Bentley, parents Thomas Stubbs and Mary Bagnoll, his marriage to Hannah, six children and his death on 4 February 1776 in Snelston. A note states "Lived in Snelston from about 1730 onwards, confirmed in the settlement certificate of 6/8/1739 (CRO Matlock) by Snelston Overseers of the poor which was sent to the overseers of Fenny Bentley (indicating that is where he had come from)." Another entry states "The parents of John Stubbs are currently unidentified. It has been suggested by others researching this family that John may have been born in 1695 at Thorpe, a hamlet lying about four miles north-west of the town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire. Many of his descendants, however, were born and lived in nearby Snelston, a small village about three miles south-west of Ashbourne. This area of Derbyshire lies very close to the border with Staffordshire, and consequently several events in his descendants' lives are recorded as occurring in that county. John married a Hannah (maiden name perhaps Cloose or Hancock), probably around 1729-30 and possibly in Cheshire or Staffordshire. The village of Ipstones, where Francis was christened, lies in Staffordshire about ten miles north-west of Snelston; the IGI record omits the name of his mother. Fenny Bentley, where Anthony was christened, is a village lying about 4 miles north of Ashbourne. It is not known for sure when or where John or his wife Hannah died, but the Snelston registers record the burials there of a John Stubbs (age not cited) on February 4th 1776 and a Hannah "the wife of John" (age not cited) on September 1st 1768. "
Note that Fenny Bentley and Thorpe are 2 miles north of Ashbourne and only 1 mile apart, but were separate parishes. Ipstones is some 12 miles west of Ashbourne, Snelston, 2 miles SW.
John Stubbs was Felicity's fifth great grandfather.
