Born Q1 1852, Risby, Suffolk. ^4,5 Occupation 1891, Agricultural labourer. Died Q1 1920. ⁴

My original estimation for birth date was between 1854 and 1858. Around 1881 street address was 'Green'. Around 1891 living in Risby Hall Cottage. Percy and Mary Eagle (25, 23) were farmer & wife at Risby Hall Farm. John's birth dates throw up questions - either his mother was about 47 when he was born - or he is the son of an older brother or sister and was brought up by his grandparents? Note: he is described as the son of Charles and Susan Sturman in the 1861 census. Also note discrepancy of given ages in 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses).
