Little (too little) is known of this man. John was brother of James in my next to last post and son of James in my post of 23rd March 2013 . All that I know for certain is that John Ginn was a Labourer. It would seem clear that he married twice, leaving Great Hormead after his first marriage to Sarah Coxsell, but returning after his second (which may have been a common law arrangement) . Both wives are called Sarah. He does not appear to have had any surviving children from his first marriage.
They lived at Great Hormead and hopefully with detailed research the exact cottage could be located.
John Ginn died in 1867, quoted as being 74: he was 73. Sarah
has no burial entry at Great Hormead and so far has not been traced elsewhere..
John and Sarah had four children
Betsy - Elizabeth
(commonly known as “Betsy”) became friendly with her considerably older first
cousin, Thomas Ginn (see later post) who lost his first wife in 1853. Elizabeth
married Thomas at Camberwell in 1860.
John - married Catherine Lawrence in 1855.
They had five daughters and one son (James Levi) the latter dying in Bishops Stortford at 1947 as a bachelor and Annie also died unmarried. Of the others, Fanny married Thomas Bardwell in 1897 and Ellen, Sally (Sarah) and Emily are as yet untraced. Catherine died in 1900 and John in 1906.
Eliza - married George Pursglove in 1866. He was a widower aged 40, then of
Wyddial. In 1881, the couple were living
in Great Hallingbury in Essex, and Eliza’s
niece Ellen (above) was staying there. Eliza and George have descendants
James - died in infancy
