Research
In 1851 it appears possible that Joseph & Sophia were recorded in two different households. In one case, in Bugbrooke [2444] where Joseph is the head of household. In the 2nd, in Adstone, Northamptonshire, Joseph, Sophia (spelled “Sopha”) and their son, Charles, are living with Ann TALBUT, 57 (widow). In this case, Joseph is described as Ann’s son-in-law (but he might have been her nephew). In the Adstone schedule, Joseph is two years younger than in the Bugbrooke scheudle; Sophia is one year older, but Charles is consistently age 1. In both cases Charles was born in Bugbrooke. But “Sopha” in Adstone was born in Preston Capes (Daventry district), Northamptonshire, instead of Maidford.

Misc. Notes
“GARDINER” is the spelling on his 1854 marriage certificate.
Joseph was a widower at the time he married Ann. [2399]
He had a nephew, “John Pew” age 21, in 1861 census. [2446]
Research
In 1881 & 1891, his neighbor was Elijah GARDNER (1891: GARDINER), wife Harriett + children (in 1891) (household #114 same page in 1881; household #113 on previous page in 1891). Possibly related.

Another neighbor (household #120) in 1881, Elizabeth GARDNER could be the widow of Paul GARDNER.

Another Joseph GARDNER in Adstone, Northamptonshire, in 1851, and a third living with Mary POOL, his grandmother.

The only Joseph found in 1841, is the one living with his grandmother, Mary POOLE (POOL in 1851). But that Joseph is not married as of 1851.
