Joseph Rowlands

[Lgugg]

Hi, I'm looking into my ancestor Joseph Rowlands. He owned or worked in a beer house on Chester Road. He was born about 1819 in Bishopwearmouth and died in 1880. According to his marriage record to Margaret Wilson, his father was John Rowlands, however I couldn't find a baptism for him or his mother. I would really appreciate any help, thank you  !

Do you have him on census prior to 1871. 

[Lgugg]

No unfortunately, he was a Master Mariner so I think he was away when the censuses were done because he wasnt in the household in the 1851 or 1861 censuses.

Sorry I don't know his father's occupation. I just found the marriage here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NXPX-BKL?lang=en

His father would have been born prior to 1800 & the 1841/51 for Durham only has one possibility.  Born 1794 Leyburn Yorkshire but surname is Rowland - not Rowlands.  Occupation was farm bailiff in 1851.  Wife Elizabeth.

In 1871 Joseph's wife is Mary & there are Scott stepchildren in household
