Unmarked grave Joseph Winter (1829-1901)
Joseph was born in Berkhamsted in 1829 to William and Maria (née Green) Winter. His father was a gardener. By 1841 he was also employed as a gardener and lived in the High Street with his parents and six siblings
In 1851 the family, including Joseph and seven siblings were still living in the High Street. Joseph was employed as an ostler. They were still there in 1861. Joseph and his brother George were grooms, James was a boot maker, Harriet, Elizabeth and their mother were straw plaiters and the two youngest boys, Edwin and Alfred were at school.
Ten years later his father William had died and his mother Maria remained in the High Street. Joseph was a groom, but out of work. George was still a groom, Harriet, Elizabeth and their mother were straw plaiters and Alfred was a domestic servant. Also with them was Kate Winter, Harriet’s daughter born out of wedlock in 1866.
His mother died shortly after the census was taken in 1871.
Joseph never married and the 1881 census records him as a general labourer and a boarder with the Daniels family in Cross Oak Road.
Joseph had been admitted to the Union workhouse by the time the 1901 census was taken on 31 March and he died there in April that year aged 72.
His sister Harriet (1836-38) and their parents are also buried in this cemetery.
