Notes
a. Note:   On the Marriage Certificate of his son Joseph, John is described as a Hay and Straw Dealer deceased. In 1837,when he was 27 years old, John was accused by a George Barlow, of theft..... of Clover, a charge brought before Staffordshire Assizes which, fortunately, resulted in a Not Guilty verdict... If found guilty he probably would have been transported.....and we would not be here today...!
 On the marriage certificate of his son Elijah, John's occupation is listed as a Tailor, deceased......
 From Labourer to Tailor, Coal Carrier to Hay and Straw Dealer he seems to have been able to turn his hand to anything to make ends meet....
 On his death certificate....the cause of his death is shown as Morbis Cordis ( Heart Disease) and Dropsy which would now be known as 'congestive cardiac failure or left ventricular failure' - ie the heart just doesn't pump properly for some reason. Nowadays the commonest precursor would be coronary artery disease but in his 40s in the 19th century John would probably have had previous 'rheumatic fever' - this is an infection of the throat or lungs by Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria which then goes on to mangle up the main heart valves over several years. This condition was rife & unchecked in 19th century Britain. The incidence of rheumatic heart disease was drastically reduced by the discovery of Penicillin in the 1940s although you still see it occasionally even now.
  'Dropsy' was often treated by the drug digitalis derived from foxgloves. It is still in use today as the drug digoxin.( Medical notes added..... care of Dr Mike Inskip. New Zealand G.P. and fellow Inskip researcher).
  As a matter of research....on looking for parents of John....there is a slight chance that he could be a son of Thomas Inskip and Elizabeth Smith who missed out on a christening due to there being no minister at Dilhorne All Saints Church at his time of birth ?
 Thomas and Elizabeth were residing in Forsbrook at the time of John's birth ( 1809 / 1810 ) and had sons Thomas born in 1807 and William born about 1811, leaving a gap of 3 to 4 years in which John could have been born !
