Susan Winters, The fathers name is not listed on the

know that he worked as a farm labourer on a farm in Cambridgeshire

He left England on the ship Baron Aberdare from London with 102
passengers captained by R Edmonds as an assisted immigrant
on 8 December 1874, arriving Auckland on 19 March 1875, travelling
north to Aratapu in the Northern Wairoa.

He met Amelia Elizabeth Benger there, and they were married at her

Joseph had been prone to mental illness and on March 3, 1888 was
admitted to Oakley Hospital suffering from a mental breakdown,
suffering for a period of 1 month due to malnutrition. He was to
remain there until 18 November when he was released back to Te

caused by liver trouble. He had died at 8.30 am in the morning.
