I found Joseph and Elizabeth on the 1841 census in Copmanthorpe, York.He is listed as aged 25 (but ages on that census are rounded down to the nearest 5 years - so he would be between 25 and 29)Elizabeth is listed as age 20, Joseph was a railway officer.Their two children were William aged 2 and Mary aged 1.There is a death of Joseph Wigglesworth at Ripon in the March quarter of 1845, Elizabeth may have married under her maiden name (I can find no marriage of Elizabeth Wigglesworth to a Smith before 1845, but there is a marriage of an Elizabeth Mason to a Joseph Smith in March 1846.It might be worth your while to get the death certificate for Joseph.I think it's possible that he was Joseph son of William and Betty Croft baptised at Acaster Malbis on 14 Nov 1813.Especially as he had a sister called Mary.You might like to contact me direct ([email protected])
