Hi everyone, I am looking for help to identify the parents of Joseph Field, a Glass Blower b c1857 Walworth/Brixton.
I have been unable to identify him on the 1861 or 1871 censuses or on GRO birth records or baptisms of London.
He married Eliza Edgar at St John's Church Walworth in 17th December 1876, on the death certificate he states that his father is James Field deceased.
After a couple of years of marriage they moved over the river to Hackney and in total had 15 children according to the 1911 census, 7 of whom died.
Joseph continued to live in Hackney until early 1930, moving to Langley Gardens in Barking and eventually dying at Romford 1 Oldchurch Road which I think was the Workhouse. On the death certificate, his son Joseph Alexander Field gave his father's name as the same, Joseph Alexander Field, although I have not seen the name Alexander in any other of Joseph's documents and I think this may have been an error by the registrar.
Any help will be gratefully received. Thank you.

What street address is given, and what names witness?

On the marriage certificate both James Field and Eliza Edgar were living at 15 Hampton Street. The witnesses were James Alexander and Catherine Alexander. Hope that helps.

John Hood, yes I did mean Joseph and Eliza. Thanks.

If you check the 1871 census for St Saviour Southwark-there's a James and Catherine ALEXANDER with children Elizabeth(14) and Joseph(13).
I wonder if your Joseph is somehow Joseph ALEXANDER?
