John William Yarrow was the oldest of the three children of James Yarrow and his wife Mary Gothard of Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire. He was known by his nieces and nephews as "Uncle Jack".
John trained and worked as a grocer in St. Mary's, Dover, when he married Amy Ann Howard of Ely, Cambridgeshire. The couple went on to have at least nine children - all of which lived in Dover.
