General Notes:

Note by Mary Young, April 2014:
In 1911, David and Mary "Polly" Gardner's family included Polly's uncles, Joseph and David Lewis. Unfortunately I don't have the image nor a good transcript of the details - still to be verified.

Noted events:

Joseph worked as a pier master's assistant, marine engine machinist, sewing machine factory machinist,. ²

3 Apr 1881 census: age 8, workhouse inmate at Union Workhouse, Cockermouth, Cumberland, England. ³

5 Apr 1891 census: age 17, servant to William Armstrong, farmer at Kirklinton, Cumberland, England. Note: this sighting may not be correct - Joseph was nearer 18/19 years of age.

31 Mar 1901 census: age 27, marine engine machinist, head of household at 1, Prospecthill Street, Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland. ⁴
