In 1851 the family lived in Clarke’s Lane, Studham. At the age of 9 years, he was straw plaiting. In 1861 they were living in Common Side, Studham.
Joseph married Elizabeth Hewlett in July 1865. They lived in Castle Street, Berkhamsted in 1871 with his brother Thomas. Both he and Thomas were labourers. They lived next door to Jesse and Charlotte, née Smart, Lawson Waterton.

Joseph was admitted to the Union Infirmary in the workhouse where he died on 9th November 1910.

He was buried in Rectory Lane Cemetery with his brother and wives Elizabeth née Hewlett and Charlotte nèe Smart.
