And why write "in doing so you will greatly oblige his father" why not "I would be a obliged as his father" does that make sense?
 

But quite often people at that time wrote about themselves in the third person rather than in a personal sense.

Currently looking at entries for Rev Joseph Ashton in old newspapers.
One entry found in Wrexham - Marriage ceremony by Rev Joseph at Primitive Methodist Chapel April 1890.

Even though the Rev eludes me, I think, Z, that I am comfortable in the knowledge that Joseph Ashton is the father of Thomas William Ashton.  Perhaps now knowing that Thomas was the eldest son (I did not know this until coming across that marriage entry in the newspaper) will make searching the earlier Census' a bit easier? 

Yes, those snippets you quoted re Isabella Ashton and the Probate of Thomas William are familiar to me.  Joseph William is the eldest son of Thomas William and I am afraid the Will does not offer any clues as to the existence or whereabouts of the elusive Rev.

I am still hopeful something will arise re Horton House and Joseph in the near future.

Thanks again, Z, your efforts and time much appreciated by me.

Just to add - in the report of this in the Caledonian Mercury, his name is given as J. Burrough
