He had 4 sons - James, Arthur, Josiah & Alfred, all went to Cambridge with the idea of entering the Church. Josiah (went to Soham, Cambs.) and Alfred (went to Leeds, Maidstone, Kent) took Holy Orders. James went to Clare College, became friendly with Charles Bradlaugh, a Radical who became an MP in Gladstone's Govt in 1880, and gave up the Church. He married Honor Brown at Isleham, Cambs. in 1862. He died in 1902, buried in West Ham Cemetery. Had 4 sons (Joseph, James, Charles, Frank) and 4 daughters (Ada, Elizabeth, Anne, Eva).

They had Charles Edward, Percy Frederick, Dorothy Evelyn, Beatrice Florence, Ruby Constance, Arthur William, Frank Albert, Lilian Gertrude, Winifred Edith (my mother). Thank you very much.
