I have hit the proverbial 'brick wall' regarding my great grandfather Joseph JOHN. Born in Brawdy area in 1833. His father was William JOHN a farmer (labourer). Joseph married Martha Mathias in May 1876 and later Mary Ann TAYLOR from Llanstadwell. They lived in Clarence Street Pembroke Dock where Joseph finished as a grocer. He played for Neyland Rovers RFC during 1907 to 1909
I can find no record of Joseph's birth, apparently in Brawdy.
Is there anyone out there who has any information, anything that may help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Have you checked non-conformist registers?
For example there's a Joseph JOHN bap 1834 in Whitchurch (Independent).

Am I misreading something here? Joseph would have been about 74 in 1907.
There is an entry on familysearch.org
Joseph John age 66 estimated birth year 1833
Buried 16 May 1899 At Pembroke Dock, St John, Pembrokeshire, Wales

All born in county. There is a Henry John on opposite page with his family and a Griffis (sic) family at the top of the same page. Tenby and Brawdy approx. 30 miles apart.
Then at Narberth South there is also a Joseph John age 10 with William age 8 in the household of Thomas Evans a carpenter. On the opposite page is a Daniel John age 3 in a Griffiths household.
HO107 piece 1448 book 19 folio 9 page 9
Do you have Joseph John in the censuses prior to his marriage? I also see that there is a marriage record on FreeBMD in 1874 with a Joseph John and a Martha Mathias on the same page. Can there be two Joseph Johns and two Martha Mathias in Pembroke?
Was your Joseph John married previously? Was he a bachelor on the marriage cert?
Just trying to get my head around it all.

JOSEPH JOHN
Wow thank you Christina,
I am aware of the the Tenby link, but the census clearly shows he was from Brawdy and that is quite a long way from Tenby. The marriage certificate for his marriage to Martha showed him as a single man. Martha was a tenant in the house where he was head in Clarence Street Pembroke Dock 1882.
Thank you for all your help

Hi Roy
The only Joseph John I have found in a workhouse at the moment is in 1901 RG13; piece 5011 folio 131 page 4. It says he is a coal miner age 66, Single and born St Davids.
I see your Joseph with Mary Ann, their son Joseph age 6 (is he the one who played for Neyland Rovers?) Mary's mother and Aunt
1891 RG12 Piece 4529 Folio 106 Page 17
Mary Ann and Joseph T age 16 in 1901 RG13 piece 5126 folio 5 page 2.
So Mary Ann is a widow in 1901 and a dress maker so she is not as comfortably off as in 1991 when Joseph was a grocer.
This could be her husband's death

The bloke in the workhouse is not your Joseph.
