In 1841 he was living with his uncle, William STANTON, on the same street in Kingsthorpe that his father lived on. He would have been 19 at the time of the 1841 census but because of the system of rounding he was listed as 15. [1582]
Removed from Ravensthorpe to Horton College, Bradford, 1846. [150]
Residence at time of marriage: Bradford, Yorkshire, England [99]
Removed to post in London at Bloomsbury Chapel, 1875. [150]

His baptism was performed by Maximilian Wilson ( [10]) who is listed in “The Wesleyan Methodist Itinerancy” (p.171) by Rev. Joseph Hall (London: Haughton & Co., 1873), thus confirming that the baptism was in a Methodist church. He was, however, baptized again in 1841. [1452]

On 1-Jun-1865, he gave an address at the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, in New York City. On this same trip to America he visited the White House and met President Andrew Johnson. [909], [911], [4498] So far, no passenger list has been found to document how he arrived in New York, but perhaps he came via Canada, which generally doesn’t have passenger records from that time period.

He was “a decided abstainer and temperance advocate.” [1452] “a leader of the temperance movement” [868]

Source [911] mistakenly says Joseph’s father was Thomas, who actually was his grandfather. See also Source [122] where the relationship is stated correctly. While there is no doubt that Joseph’s father was John, the knowledge that John’s father was Thomas, has only come from newspaper articles.
