Slowly Closing In...

So after finding the marriage certificate for John Curtis and Sarah Wells, which revealed he was from Tydd St Giles in Cambridge, I have found this couple on the 1841 and 1851 censuses living in Tydd.
The 1851 census states that he was born in Walpole St Peter (Wisbeach), Norfolk.
The Latter Day Saints IGI gives us the parish records for all the Curtis names in Walpole St Peter, and from those we can deduce that there were three families there giving birth to children around 1790s.
There are:
Luke Curtis and Mary
Thomas Curtis and Mary
William Curtis and Agnes

Here are the entries, but we will notice there is only one JOHN Curtis!
