Biography

Joseph was born Joseph Ambler in 1838 Whitkirk, Yorkshire and baptised Joseph Ambler on 15 April 1838 Whitkirk, St. Mary, Yorkshire the son of Sarah Ambler of Whitkirk ^{[1] [2]}

In the 1851 census Joseph (age 13) was the nephew of William Ambler in Manston, Austhorpe, Garforth, Yorkshire.^[3]

1861 census: Joseph (age 23) was the unmarried grandson of Hannah Ambler in Colton, Whitkirk, Leeds, Yorkshire. ^[4]

Note: There is nothing here to confirm that John Ambler is the father of Joseph or Henry, or that Joseph and Henry were siblings. Also in both 1851 and 1861 John Ambler is unmarried.

Marriage Joseph married Mary Batty on 12 March 1864 in Leeds, St Peter, Yorkshire, England.

Groom: Joseph Ambler, 25, bachelor, Miner, Mill Street.

Bride: Mary Batty, 23, spinster, Dyer Street.

Groom's father: Not named.

Bride's father: John Batty, Labourer.

Witnesses: Samuel Ambler & Jane Batty

Married after Banns by FJ Wood, Clerk in Orders. ^{[5] [6]}

In the 1871 census Joseph (age 32) was the married head of household in Glass Houghton, Yorkshire, England.^[7]

In the 1881 census Joseph (age 43) was the married head of household in Glass Houghton, Yorkshire, Yorkshire West Riding, England.^[8]

In the 1891 census Joseph (age 52) was the married head of household in Ferrybridge Road, Glass Houghton, Yorkshire. ^[9]

Death: Joseph of the "Woodman" inn, Glass Houghton, Castleford, died on 20 January 1901 and their estate passed probate on 22 February 1901 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, to Mary Ambler, widow. ^{[10] [11]} He was buried at Castleford, All Saints on 22 Jan 1901, ^[12] and his death (age 63) was registered in the Jan-Feb-Mar quarter of 1901 in the Pontefract district.^[13]

Research Note I am not confident that John Ambler and Sarah Waite are parents of Joseph, or when exactly he was born. There is a baptism record on 15 April 1838 for a Joseph Ambler in Whitkirk St Mary, with mother's name as Sarah Ambler, no father named. ^[14] Why would or could his birth be registered 2 years later? I have checked through the Whitkirk register for 1840 but nothing found. A possibility could be that John Ambler had a sister Sarah. I don't know where the birth date has come from, maybe someone has the birth cert. Message sent to PM to see if he has any other information.
