Hi Corpust

His Family, do you mean:  his wife and children, descendants - or his parents, siblings, ancestors?

Do you have him on any Census?

A little clarification will help us to better help you ,  and avoid us spending time looking for details about him that you may already know 

Cheers

Interesting this is the only Marriage that I could find that fitted;

Dec 1877, Wakefield, 9c 75
Joseph GREENWELL/Eliza MEAKIN

She would be very young if married 1877 and wondered why they would marry in Yorkshire.
Could William Meakin age 12 in 1901 be her Brother?

1881 we have;
Joseph GREENWELL, 27, Head, Mar, Coal Miner, born Novia Scotia, Durham
Eliza, 21
Joseph, 6mths

Look like William Meakin may be Elizas Widowed Brothers Son. I will have to investigate that more.

[AMBLY]

So they were GREENWELL in 1881 & 1911
And BROWN on 1891, 1901.....

1891: 45 Henry Street, Hetton le Hole
RG12 - Piece 4116  / Folio 20 / Pg34
Head: Joseph BROWN, 36, Coal Miner, b Nova Scotia, Durham
Wife: Eliza BROWN 31, b Womble Main, Yorkshire
