Thanks, I have only guessed at Joseph's D.O.B, assuming that he was about the same age as Annie.  i will have to wait to confirm his age on his marriage cert. Once that is done I will be in a better position to identify him on a death cert. I will have to write off for the marriage cert soon!


 
I had a look earlier at FreeBMD for deaths between 1890 and 1901 - I think most of the ages at death dont work out ...some are young children, most seem to be too young to be your Joseph

The only older entry is this one...

  Quarter/Year : Sep 1899   
  Name : Joseph Dexter
  Age : 78    (c1821)
  Registration district : Kettering   
  Volume : 3b    / page : 111    

Kettering registration district is in Northamptonshire, and seems to be located north-west of Northampton - could possibly be on the way between London and Hollyhead ...

no sign of that Joseph that I can find on the 1901 census - so think he's the one that died.

worth try - we ruled out a possible match. So barring serious indexing error it seems to me that there's no death in Ireland, England or Wales. You need access to ScotlandsPeople website (subscription) to to check deaths in Scotland.

marriage cert may only say 'full age'... so 21 or over...

I had discounted that chap because of 1891  :-\
Is there no help available from Clare resources? You would imagine that there would be an obituary in his own place?

I have looked at the clare library resources, but I only found  him in the directories.
I dont think the Clare Champion is available online, I will investigate online access to the irish times.

Thanks for your help. My tree already has a few dead ends, this might just have to be another one.
On the bright side I have SO much more than I did a couple of weeks ago, its all wonderful.

Hi, I am a direct relative of Joseph Dexter. He moved to England and re married. His son was my Grandfather Gerald Dexter who had four children three girls and a boy (Frank), my father. Would love to hear from you.

Excuse the delay in responding, I havent checked this site for a while ....
I would be very grateful for info on the date of Joseph Dexter's move to England and his date of death as well.
Do you know where the divorce would have gone through the courts?
Cheers,
Cathy

Hello, I think there was some confusion in the last couple of postings. I am from the same family. Gerald Wiliam Edgeworth Dexter was born to William Dexter on 29 May 1903, not to Joseph Dexter who was William's father. William did re-marry.

Further, from the family notes, on Joseph Dexter (notes courtesy of Frank Dexter):

"There is no record of the death of Joseph Dexter. Family legend has it that Joseph drank away the family fortune and emigrated to Australia. It is known that on 7th March 1896 a person named John Dexter from Tipperary died in Melbourne Hospital, he had arrived ... on the ship Ormuz, his Australian occupation was listed as "shepherd" and he was described as "single'. Was this Joseph Dexter having deserted his wife and family?"
