Entry in Stubbs Genealogy for "John Warren Stubbs was born in 1859 to parents John (3) Stubbs and his first wife Mary Elizabeth (nee Warren) [Birth Index: Rotherhithe 1d 510, 1859 (Sept)]. The 1861 Census finds him at age "18 months" living with his parents in Rotherhithe, Surrey. The 1871 Census finds him at age "11" living there with his widowed father. The 1881 Census finds him at age "21" lodging with the family of a cabinet maker James Hobbs at 13, White Conduit Street in St. James Clerkenwell, London and occupied as a clerk. The schedule appears to describe him as married but this is currently believed to be an error. In 1886 he married Alice Hobbs [Marriage Index: Pancras 1b 160, 1886 (Dec)]. Almost certainly she was the Alice Hobbs in whose father's household he had been lodging in 1881. Later census records place her birth variously in Clerkenwell or Islington in the early or mid-1860s. The 1891 Census finds him with Alice and three children living at 42, Olney Street in Newington St. Mary, London where he was occupied as a life assurance agent.
