No christening record has been found for John Tidder in High Ercall, and there are no families recorded as having children christened in the High Ercall parish register in the 1630s. The only family in the early 1600s were Roger and Catherine Tidder.

The family of Roger and Catherine Tidder are recorded as having children christened in the early 1600s. It is possible that John was a younger son of this family, born in the 1620s but not recorded in the parish register, or was a son of one of the older sons of Roger and Catherine (such as Thomas or Roger junior).

Roger Tidder married Catheryne Mathewes 4 November 1607 in High Ercall. Both were listed as "of this parish". Roger was a husbandman or labourer, and was "of Stafford". This is likely Stafford Lane in the township of Sleap in High Ercall parish. Catherine was most likely the daughter of John and Johanne Mathewes of Waters Upton in High Ercall.

Roger and Catherine had the following children:

1. Thomas, christened 25 January 1608 in High Ercall "of Stafford".
2. Margaret, christened 1 March 1610 of High Ercall "of Stafford".
3. Roger, christened 6 March 1613 "at Waters Upton" in High Ercall.
