I have no idea where they got "Landed Proprietor" from!   Someone must have a good imagination  ;D

I looked all over for him in 1881 but no sign.  I suspect his name has been incorrectly written by either the enumerator or the transcriber  :-\  Either that or he was missed off completely.

regarding the possibility of misspelling...I had a look on FreeBMD and came across this birth entry:

Joseph Thomas METCALFE
December qtr, 1844 
District: Pancras
County: London, Middlesex 
Vol 1  p 346

There are a couple of other Joseph METCALFEs, born about the same time but in different areas of London (one Clerkenwell, one Strand).  Most MEDCALFs appear to be from Yorkshire at that time.

Cheers
