FARMER'S - Birth of the Chemical Industry, Widnes

Im looking for details of JOSEPH SAMUEL STRETCH born 1857.
Joseph tells me he was born in Grappenhall, Lancs on the 1881/91 census.
I cant find him anywhere,I have located a JOSEPH SAMUEL STRETCH born in APPLETON, Grt Budworth in 1857.
Could this be my guy?
He also said his Father was Joseph Stretch on his mar cert The birth cert I have for the Budworth Joseph shows no Father, mother is MARTHA STRETCH. Do we think he was making him up?
This is really getting to me - why is this so hard?
Stretchie.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your interest in my Stretch's.
Occupation of Joseph Senior is just Labourer, so not much help in that area.
Joseph Samuel Stretch (Jnr) was a platelayer and lived near the station at Chester with his family until he died in 1940 at the ripe old age of 82.
One of his son's was a Greengrocer if thats any help, the rest of his sons where in the empoly of the Railway.
I just need some direction as to the connection between Appleton and Grappenhall - is there one do you think? or is this the wrong birth cert.
Stretchie.

Hi,
I've had a look at the 1871 online census (which isn't yet completely online) and found 1 Joseph Stretch, aged 13. Below is the family he was living with.
Name Age in 1871 Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island
Deborah Herdman 11 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England Daughter Clitheroe Lancashire
Elizabeth H H Herdman 16 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England Daughter Clitheroe Lancashire
Garvin Herdman 42 Cantsfield Hall, Westmorland, England Head Clitheroe Lancashire
Garvin J H Herdman 7 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England Son Clitheroe Lancashire
Henry W J Herdman 13 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England Son Clitheroe Lancashire
Joseph H Herdman 39 Cantsfield Hall, Westmorland, England Brother Clitheroe Lancashire
Elizabeth H Slinger 28 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England Niece Clitheroe Lancashire
Joseph H Stretch 13 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Nephew Clitheroe Lancashire
I've found what i believe to be your Joseph (junior) in the 1881 online census, you may already have this:
Household:
Woods Lane, Norley, Cheshire
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability
Joseph STRETCH Head M Male 24 Grapnal, Cheshire, England Plate Layer
Ada STRETCH Wife M Female 22 Tarporley, Cheshire, England Wife
George STRETCH Son Male 1 Norley, Cheshire, England Child
Sorry i can't be of anymore help.
Regards
Paula
