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.

There are some crew lists and agreements on FamilySearch
Here's a tranche of them with Joseph Rowlands, age 42, born Sunderland, Master of the "Jane"
5 Feb 1859

Unfortunately the tree contains no actual evidence that I can see that his mother's name was Isabella. It also contains several other errors.

According to his marriage record to Margaret Wilson

Could this be his mother in law?
Will of Margaret Wilson, of Sunderland, Durham, widow. Proved 1856
Daughter Margaret, wife of Joseph Rowlands

I'm looking into my ancestor Joseph Rowlands.
