okay the 1851 census for Christ Church in Southwark England has Joseph Scales, a Journey Man Carpenter, (this means he had just finished his apprentiship and was in his first year as a qualified carpenter) I think his age is 27 and he was born in Whitechapel. His wife is Jemima aged 24 b southwark and daughter Anna aged 5, born London,
Interestingly enough next door is Mary Pitt, aged 56, a furniture Broker, Widow, b (I think) Minor Finsbury. also with her are Emma aged 17 b Christchurch and Adolphus aged 14 also b Christchurch.
In the 1841 census there is also Mary, and Alfred, (children) Mary aged 20, and Alfred 13, and her father John a broker.
So her father has died between 1841 and 1851 in St Saviour in Southwark.
The 1841 census for Joseph Scales has him the son of Edward a clerk and Mary with siblings Edward, 13 yrs Mary 11 yrs Alphonsus 9 yrs kate 7 William 4 and Carolyn mths. Oh and the name has been transcribed as Kales?
Joseph and Jemima m the first 1/4 of 1846 in Newington Surrey. and there is a death for Joseph Scales in 1854 in London Surrey.
