There's a fair chance John was the John listed below, in the manifest of the Ship "Calhoun", which sailed from Liverpool to New York, arriving on 16-Jan-1861. The age is surely within reason. Location... leaves me unable to consider this more tha n a remote possibility. And he would have had to return to England to marry Isabel (not at all unheard of, but decreases the possibility this manifest record is him. More likely, in fact, that it is the John R. found in 1870 US Census for NY, NY , with wife Matilda, and children, John, Robert, and Maggie.
