I'm afraid I don't know, maybe Helen? This one's a real headache & needs more investigation.

He's in 1871 census age 9 (father James), 1881 age 19, then
1891 Census no obvious listing, just this one which has a fatal error with his age

I wonder if this might be the missing one? Trouble is it does seem to be 669 on the image and John's is 689. Shipston is also in italics.

Marriages Mar 1882 (>99%)
YORK Mary Shipston 6d 669

'Shipston' is in italics.....so obviously a 'suspect' district

Where was John born?

Try looking at the full list of marriages for the qtr/district.

Look for page numbers which could be mistranscribed as 689....and employ a process of elimination........

I've tried to find the spouse of John Hancox, marriage in Shipston-on-Stour Jan-Mar 1882. Usually clicking on the page number brings up the spouse/choice of spouses. But this time it produces no result, either in FreeBMD or Ancestry. The volume is 6d, page number is 689. Any ideas, anyone?
