Joseph was "agent to Richard Oliver Gascoigne, the local squire and colliery owner" (per Baines 1822 Directory for Aberford) - recorded as "Land Agent" on the marriage certificate of his daughter Elizabeth. He died intestate, and his wife was named as the administrator (Exch. & Prerog, York, 1829).
The 1830
Leeds Directory (after Joseph's early
demise) lists a "Mrs
Elizabeth Ellerton, Parlington
Park, Aberford" - the birthplace of their youngest son in
1824. Elizabeth, and perhaps some of her
children, appear to have moved to Richmond
some time later.
The Leeds Mercury reported the death "at Lisbon,
Elizabeth, relict of Mr J Ellerton of Park House, Parlington, near Leeds", and
the inscription on the family vault at St.George's Anglican
Church Cemetery in Lisbon reads: "Elizabeth Ellerton, late of Richmond, Yorkshire died
on 28th November 1851, aged 69".
Brief details of Joseph's children (all
baptised at Aberford, near Leeds):
