Summer of 1911 - Johns wife Sarah sadly passed away.
1915 - Marriage of John Thacker to Catherine E Poyser . John and Catherine were 'in-laws' who were both widowed.
Although Johns wife,Catherine is living with his son, Charles Thomas Thacker and his family in 1939 and listed as 'widow' - it appears that John was living with his eldest daughter, Mary Ann Bullock in 1939, and was also listed as 'widow'. This may have been a presumption on the census takers part.
