  Notes	Not known if John and Elizabeth formally married, though there is a possible record on 14.3.1836 in Cheadle (Cheshire Bishop's Transcripts, Ancestry). This is some distance from their known residences, but would have been seven months after John deserted the Army and he may have deliberately chosen an unlikely location There is no evidence of another John or Elizabeth Hough around Cheadle in the 1841 census.
