John Mayhew was born in 1824 in Bromham, Bedfordshire, England and was the second of five children from his fathers first marriage. John was an agricultural labourer like his father, who was also called John (as was his grandfather and great grandfather!).
John married my 3rd Great Grandmother Louisa Barker (a lacemaker) on 2nd Sep 1849 in Kempston, Bedfordshire, England and had eight children together between 1850-73. All children went on to marry and have children of their own.
Louisa died on Christmas day 1891 and John on 11th Apr 1893 at the Bedford Union Workhouse after 6 day of bronchitis. He was in the workhouse two years previous during the 1891 census, so may have been ill on and off for quite a while. The workhouse was the only place to get free medical care for those with little to no money, and as Louisa was living at the family home in the 1891 census suspect this may have been the reason why.
