For some reason, GR won't let me reply to your 1841 thread! Joseph would be about 16 in 1841 and quite likely have left home, so you wouldn't find him with his father. It's also possible he was illegitimate and invented a dad with the same name for respectability. You would need to check the Manchester parish baptism registers to find his likely birth year and his mother's first name at least. Are there any clues in the witnesses to his wedding? nell

Nell, The witnesses are Mary McLeaf (?) and P Heptinstall. The problem is finding the time to get over to Manchester, but I will have to try and get over there at some point. As for the witnessess - I have no idea who they are, but I am pretty sure that they aren't rellies of Ellen.
