I want to know what happened to him, whether he married and had children. At the moment, I can find nothing and none of the others, researching the name, mention him. So a bit of a puzzle. His mother was Hannah Robson nee Fishburn, who was born in 1829. His father is unknown, as he was born, well after Joseph ( Hannah's husband, died). I know that in the 1861 Census she was living with her parents and described as Widowed. Any help would be much appreciated.
