Joseph Welham 1845-after 1888.

The eldest son of George Welham and Eliza (Wright) was Joseph who was baptised on 26th October 1845, along with his brother Benjamin. In the 1851 census, their ages were given as 15, suggesting they had been born in the autumn of 1845. He seems to have married Emma around 1870, although the marriage record has yet to be found.

Later they lived at Battisford, where their five children were baptised between 1874 and 1888. In each case, Joseph was described as a labourer living in Battisford. The five children were Jane and Charles (both baptised 1st November 1874), followed by Joseph, William and Ellen (all baptised on 23rd September 1888). It will be necessary to look at the census data for 1881 and 1891 to determine the ages and dates of birth for these children.
