MARRIAGE IGI Extracted;
Joseph BEARSLEY (no D)
Martha SHEPHERD
02 August 1817, Saint Marys, Nottingham, Nottingham
Ages are rounded to nearest 5 in 1841 Census, so Joseph may be born c 1782-1788ish.
1851 Census Martha is down as born c 1791 Colinton, Notts but I am sure the image is actually Sneinton.

There are these BEARDSLEY Marriages at St Marys, Nottingham on the same Batch as Joseph/Marthas as I posted earlier;
MARY, 17 March 1814 to Charles FLETCHER
JAMES, 11 May 1819 to Sarah CHEETHAM
JAMES, 02 April 1822 to Eliza WOODWARD
EDWARD, 26 November 1821 to Rebecca WARDLEY
SAMUEL, 06 June 1824 to Jane MOSS
+ a HARRIET (under Bardsley), 28 March 1826 to John COXTON
Any or all of these could be Siblings of Joseph and may be worth following up on Census entries to find when/where ther wre born.
Then trying to match christenings to hopefully narrow down Josephs parents
