Name John DISTIN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1810 Stokenham, Devon, England 
- From the 1851 census where shown as aged 40. Shown as born Frogmore in the 1871 census, South Pool in the 1861 census!
Gender Male Occupation From 1839 to 1841 Bargeman - Shown as bargeman on the 1841 census and when his son William was baptised (1839)
1841 census shows place the family were living as "Channel" in Malborough Parish (City or Borough had been filled in as Salcombe, and then this crossed out. It may be that Channel is part of Salcombe)
Occupation From 1851 to 1861 Salcombe, Devon, England Lighterman - Shown as lighterman when children were baptised in 1842 and 1850; also on the 1851 and 1861 censuses
Occupation 1871 Ag lab Retired 1881 - Shown as "Formerly Mariner" in the census, occupation field left blank in 1891
Residence 1891 Newtown Road, Titchfield, Devon, England Died Mar Q 1899 - GRO ref: Distin, John aged 84 q1 1899 Kingsbridge RD 5b 159
Although John was living with his son William and William's family in Titchfield, Hampshire in 1891, William and his wife were back in Salcombe by 1901 so I think this is this John's death. The age is a few years out of line with that consistently given in the censuses, but William (or the informant) may not have known.
