Hi,

I really don`t think that the Joseph in Padiham and Great Harwood who married a Martha is your Joseph.  They have different siblings for starters.  Your Josephs sister Isabella married a Samuel Gledhill in 1954 at St. Michael, Great Lever. Father William Lever a Crofter.

William Lever a labourer, widower married Ann Williams spinster at St. Mary the Virgin, Deane on 6th November, 1825.

William Lever aged 57 was buried at St Michaels Great Lever on 5th September, 1852.   His widow Ann then remarried:

26 October, 1857 St Mary the Virgin, Prestwich
Joseph Gregory, 40, Labourer, Widower, Outwood, father John Gregory Labourer
Ann Lever.  50, Housekeeper, Widow, Outwood, father William Williams Labourer
Both made their mark
Witnesses Samuel Cropper and Mary Ann Chapman who both made their mark.

They can be found on the 1861 census living in Little Lever Joseph Gregory aged 45 born Horwich and Ann aged 55 born Warrington which ties in with her place of birth on the 1851 census.  Unfortunately Joseph is not living with them.   His married sister Ann is living next door to Joseph and Ann – She married an Edward Ramsbottom in 1860.

Unfortunately the whereabouts of your Joseph remains a mystery, but you can definitely rule out the one on the 1861 census born Blackburn who was living with his parents William and Ann.  He was a Spinner on his marriage to Martha as was his father.

Hello Mo

Once again thank you for your help, I didn't think the 1861 census Joseph sat right, I wonder where he is, I have checked for the single Joseph Levers and found four. One was a carpenter, one was a stonemason the other two were - a lodger aged 20,  hand cotton card room, and the other was only aged 12 but listed as a stepson so I have eliminated him. Think for now I might have to accept defeat and just wonder where he was between 1851 and 1881 for certain. I don't know where else to look.

Thank you again
Moo
