Biography
Joseph was baptised on 14 March 1825 in Yarm, York by parents Matthew and Ellen. [1]
In 1851 Joseph was Boarding in Yarm where he was a Labourer. [2]
In 1861 Joseph was single and living with niece and nephew Joseph and Jane. He had a housekeeper, Margaret Blenkirous with whom he had a daughter , Francis. [3] No marriage record has been found but after this they called themselves husband and wife.
In 1871 Margaret and Joseph lived in Middlesbrough. Joseph was a labourer. The couple had 3 children. His nephew Joseph still lived with the family. [4]
Margaret died aged 58 in 1883. Joseph died aged 64 in 1888. His death was registered in Middlesbrough. [5]
Note: An out of work Labourer in 1881 living at 7 Atlas St. M'bro.
Research Note: There is a suggestion that Joseph married Jane Wise (abt.1824-1849) who died the following year. In 1851 and 1861 he described himself as unmarried and had no other records in Ripon, the location of the marriage and Jane's death. There is a marriage record for Jane Wise but no death record for Jane Iley. Perhaps her marriage certificate would help solve the mystery.
