Hi Gill
John Newcomb Ind 14/3/1871 to William Wood at Gravesend Rel 11/4/1876 No 4849

also John Newcomb as Master to John Crighton Ind 14/5/1878 at All Hallows rel 13/11/1883 No 1661
could be the same person as he had been released in 1876 and therefore bacame a master

Hi Debbie
Thank you for your generous offer.

Please could you look to see if John NEWCOMB born 1855 is listed.
In the 1871 census for Hackney he is listed as a pilots apprentice.

Lightermnan and a history of these through the generations upto my father.

Area of living would be Surrey/London/
