I see Joseph was born at Weston Cheshire.
Do you know if he married ?

He appears to be the only person on the sailing schooner' Bessie' on the night of the census. From the census documents it is I think a fishing vessel ?

Do you know any more ?

Hi,
On the census it says he was single.
I dont know anymore about what happened to him after 1901.

There is a census record of 1891.
If you look on the Cheshire board(Halton),you will learn more from a recent posting I did there.
