the Mastel and Appleby families Third Generation (Great Great Grandparents)Joseph
APPLEBY Born
about 1821, in Bethnal Green, father Charles Appleby wheelwright (acc to
Joseph’s marriage certificate)
[find birth record] I
have now checked parish records for all Tower Hamlets churches and not managed
to find any record of Joseph Appleby's birth - in all the censuses he says he
was born in Bethnal Green - if anyone can help me find him, please contact me!. Only
other birth records for a Joseph Appleby found to date are:
Joseph
married Harriet Nay on 25th dec 1843 at the Parish Church of Hackney
(St John’s). Both were ‘of full
age’ and Joseph’s occupation is given as Tin Plate Worker, both lived at
London Fields. However on marriage certificate his name is given as John
Appleby. His father was Charles (occupation wheelwright).
Harriet’s father was William Nay, carpenter.
The Minister was John Graham and the witnesses John and Sarah Hagerty. (source
marriage certificate) . NOTE:
have checked entry in marriage register for St John’s at Hackney –
Joseph’s name is certainly recorded as John, however, the vicar had performed
16 marriages on that day, so possibly was getting confused! Joseph
Appleby, occupation tin plate worker, died on Whit Sunday, 13 May 1894 aged 73
years. The cause of death was
‘revolver shot in head – suicide’. A certificate was received from A
Hodgkinson, Acting Coroner for North East London. The Inquest was held on 16 May 1894. (source death certificate) Unfortunately,
the inquest report no longer exists (checked LMA), however the inquest was
reported in the N E Leader on Saturday 19 May 1894: SUICIDE
OF AN OLD TRADESMAN Terminates
his existence without apparent reason. Mr
Hodgkinson held an inquest at the Vestry Hall, Church Row, Bethnal Green on
Wednesday afternoon on the body of Joseph Apleby, an old tradesman of Bethnal
Green, whose body was found last Sunday morning shot through the head. After
some evidence, police constable Walton 568 J, deposed that he was called at
10.45 am on Sunday to 28 Cambridge Circus, and he found deceased sitting in a
chair with a bullet wound in his right temple.
The revolver (produced) he found at his feet between his legs, and on
searching he found a box of cartridges. When
found deceased had nothing but a white shirt and undershirt on. The
jury returned a verdict of “Death from a revolver shot”.

his will, Joseph Appleby, tin toy manufacturer, directed his wife Harriet to
continue his business until her death, after which time it should be passed to
his sons William, Henry and John with the residue of his property to be divided
between his nine children. At his death, the gross value of his personal estate was
valued at £928.5.0. Harriet
