Early Life & Lineage
John Worth was baptised on 5th May 1785 at Walkhampton (🔒Walkhampton Parish Baptism Register, Plymouth & West Devon Record Office). He was the son of Michael Worth (1744–1792) and his wife Elizabeth (Betty) Worth (née Atwell).
Marriage & Family
On 25th March 1803, John married Margaret Williams at Walkhampton (🔒Walkhampton Parish Marriage & Banns Register, Plymouth & West Devon Record Office).
Together, they had seven children:
- John Worth (b. 1803)
- John Worth (1803–1859)

- William Worth (1806–1859)
- James Worth (b. 1807)
- Richard Worth (1809–1812)

Death & Burial
The precise burial date for John Worth remains unconfirmed. This is likely due to the high concentration of individuals named John Worth living in the Walkhampton area during this period, combined with a lack of detailed record identifiers to distinguish them.
According to family research compiled by my Great Aunt, his wife Margaret was buried in October 1837; however, surviving primary parish records have not yet been corroborated to confirm this entry.
