Notes |
- Baptised the son of Charles, labourer, and Sarah of Barnsley.
1841 census: there was a 12 year-old Joseph WALKER, an apprentice collier, living in Old Town, Barnsley with William (40) and Olive (30) SCHOLEY.
1851 census: in Shamble Street, Barnsley, (all born Barnsley except Thomas JESSOP), Thomas JESSOP (head, tailor, born Brierly, Yorks), Mary JESSOP (wife, 58), Thomas JESSOP (son, single, 29, weaver), Henry JESSOP (son, single, 24, carter), Chas. McLINTOCK (grandson, 3), Joseph WALKER (son in law, married, 21, coal miner), Ellen WALKER (daughter, 18) and Charles WALKER (grandson, 10 months).
1861 census: at Court 1 No 1 Winn Street, Barnsley (all WALKER, all born Barnsley), Joseph (head, married*, 31, coal miner), Charles (son, 10, colliery labourer (trapper)), Mary (daughter (8, scholar) and John (son, 6, scholar). Also a lodger, Elizabeth MARSHALL (unmarried, 20, housekeeper, born Barnsley).
* the census form clearly shows 'Mar' but Joseph's wife Ellen's death was probably that registered in Q1 1858 as Ellen WALKER, aged 26.
It appears that after the 1861 census Joseph WALKER became known as Joseph MARSHALL. On 1 February 1864, Joseph (a miner) and Elizabeth MARSHALL of Barnsley had three children baptised at St Mary, Barnsley:
- Hannah, born 15 July 1858
- Sarah, born 22 October 1860
- Joseph, born 22 December 1862
It seems clear that Elizabeth MARSHALL, who was living with Joseph WALKER at the time of the 1861 census, became Joseph's de facto wife/partner. In addition to the three children baptised in 1858, 1860 and 1862, Joseph and Elizabeth were parents of two, possibly three, more children, all registered with the surname MARSHALL and in all three cases there's no mother's maiden name on the registration:
- Ellen, born Q1 1865, baptised on 3 March 1868 as the daugter of Elizabeth of Heelis Street, Barnsley
- Thomas, or Tom, born Q3 1867, also baptised on 3 March 1868
- Walter. Possibly Walter Lewis MARSHALL, born Q4 1869 but if so, Joseph WALKER can't have been the father - he died in Q1 1868. Unfortunately I haven't found Walter's baptism so can't check parents that way. As with Ellen and Thomas, there's no mother's maiden name on the birth registration. Walter's death at age 4 was registered in Q4 1873 (Barnsley 9c/131). I've included Walter as Elizabeth's with father unknown.
In view of all of the above, I've added Elizabeth MARSHALL as Joseph WALKER's second spouse, and included the first 5 of Elizabeth's illegitimate children as Joseph's. I think Elizabeth's death was in 1896.
1871 census: Joseph not found - his death was probably that registered at age 38 in Q1 1868.. Three of his children from his marriage to Ellen JESSOP were living at 29 Summer Lane with Harriet FENTON. See John WALKER's Notes for details.
The children Joseph had with Elizabeth MARSHALL were living with her when the 1871 census was done - see her Notes for details. Interestingly, and unusually, all 6 children are noted as 'Illegitimate'. Also there as a boarder was Joseph's daughter Mary WALKER, aged 18.
