If you send for his birth certificate it will give his parents' full details.

FreeBMD has the following marriage which could be your Joseph Snr.

Jun 1839, Steyning 7/597
Joseph Charman
Mary Bourn

Family Search also has this marriage as an extracted entry and gives the place of marriage as Hove, Sussex.

Hove is in the Steyning registration district.

Hello

  I finally got around to getting the birth certificate mentioned.
It says the registration district is "Brighthelmston" and sub-district is Kemp Town ....
and the mothers maiden name is "Bourn"
So the marriage in FMD is probably true.

Thanks
