I cant see a baptism for Joseph with father John, i do think you are correct with the marriage to Mary Holloway

Mmmm.....Looks like I've added the census details but I can't understand why there is no reference as to when they might have married

I can't see a baptism for Mary with parents Benjamin and Mary.

Just a thought, could it be that Joseph worked for Benjamin and when Benjamin died Mary(Higgs ) juts lodged with Joseph

I have messaged Linnel to see if she knows anything else before I change it.
I do think it is wrong.

I have heard from Linell so I am going to start trying to change it...

??

19th November 1818. St Martin, Birmingham.
Joseph, born 5th September 1818, son of John and Elizabeth Holloway, Deritend, Brazier.

This is going to take a bit of sorting here...
I have changed some, wrong birth dates, missing info etc but I think some connections too...

I have added changed and connected up...
