Joseph Thomas Cotterell 1861,1871,1881, 1891

[gjervis]

Joseph Thomas Cotterell born 1860 in West Bromwich attempted suicide with an Emma Husselbee in 1892. I would be very grateful if someone could look for details of him and his family in the above census records.

Many thanks

Are these the right family Graham?

Certainly looks right. Emma lived in Handsworth and we know that the two  families lived close by.

It would interesting to know what joseph did as an occupation in 1891 and 1881.

Many thanks

His brother William is an iron turner in 1881 but there's just a line next to Joseph's name.
