Joseph Genesis abt 1752 - 1840

[Riddlebrick]

Hi

I am trying to find more information around my 5x Great Grandfather Joseph Genesis, he died at the Strand Union Workhouse in Feb 1840 aged 88.

He had 4 children that I know of
Mary Ann Genesis 1793 - ?
Joseph Genesis 1794 - ?
Francis John Genesis 1795 - 1858
Charles Nathan Genesis 1803 - 1864

the mother for these children is listed as Mary Ann on the christening records.

I can't find anything before 1793 for Mary Ann nor Joseph Genesis so no marriage record, earlier children (if Any) or birth/christening record for Joseph.

Any suggestions on where to look next? 

Thanks in advance

Hi
He's buried as Joseph Antonio Geneses 10.2.1840 at St Clement Danes age 88 from Cleveland St Union House.
Tax record 1818 J Geneses  at Pickett St between Clement Lane and Wych st st Clement Danes.

There is also a Isaac Genese on Pickett St a victim of crime on the Old Bailey website 1817 an auctioneer may be worth a look.
There's also a Will for a Sampson Genese schoolmaster Islington in 1815 but that leaves everything to wife and children without naming them.

You could also try looking under Jenness /Jenysus and other weird spellings.

Thank you Ciderdrinker

I had searched under Genese and various other spellings but found nothing, however today I am seeing more results.

Does anyone know what the bit about Joseph Guinease  is?  was he John Anthony's Foreman? is the number 87 his age? (clutching I know)

Just another thought, Foreman of a Jury at the inquest?  is there such a thing as a Foreman for an inquest?
