Plot 936 Joseph Ing (1873-1938)
Joseph was born in 1873 in Berkhamsted, the oldest son and second child of Emma (née Chilton) and Alfred Ing. His father was a garden labourer, born in Pitstone.
In 1881 he was living with his family in Ellesmere Road. He had three sisters and two brothers.
Joseph became a brush handle maker and in 1891 was a boarder in the home of William Smith, and agricultural labourer, in Ellesmere Road. His family were still in the same road, but with so many children it was probable that Joseph, once earning, had to move out and pay his own way.
He married Alice Smith, a domestic servant from Northchurch in 1892. Alfred was born in 1893 and Gladys in 1896.
In 1891 Joseph and Alice were living at 11, Ellesmere Road where they still were in 1901, by which time Joseph was making cricket bats. Also living with them was Alice’s widowed father William, a labourer on the golf course, and a three year old girl, Lilian Glenister, described as a boarder.
By 1911 the family were living at 43, Shrublands Avenue which was to remain Joseph’s home for the rest of his life. He described himself in the census as a wheelwright’s labourer. George was a clerk in the mantle factory in Lower King’s Road and Gladys a clerk for John Dickinson’s in Apsley Mills. Lilian Glenister, now identified as “Niece” was living with them.
Joseph died 9 July 1938 at 43, Shrublands Avenue, aged 65.
Alice survived him until 1952 and is buried here with him.
His sisters Florence and Agnes Ing are buried in plot 582
