Joseph Heald B 1761 - Wakefield

[Muddipaws]

Hi

I am looking for the death of Joseph Heald, son of Samuel Heald and Mary Woodhead (in wakefield).  I have found his Baptism Record dated 26th December 1761, he went on to marry Sarah Moxon on 18th March 1782.  Sarah died in 1838 as a Widow in Wakefield.  This is where it all ends.  I thought I had found him charged with Murder and sentenced to death.  upon reading the documents, it was clear this Joseph Heald was a boy, therefore I dismissed this as my Joseph.  I have looked under Yorkshire Burials, I have looked under the collection of West Yorkshire BMD, nothing

I wonder if anyone else could shed some light here?

One tree on Ancestry states he died in China, that might be hard to prove.

Death   Mar 1803 Hongke, Haikang, Guangdong, China
