• Notes

  There are two Joseph Mundays in Fawley, and untangling them has been a bit involved. One was buried 3 Mar 1843, aged 49 (b c1794), the other was buried 15 Mar 1873, aged 72 (b c1801). The former was resident in the workhouse at the time of death, while the latter left a will with an estate valued at approaching £18,000. The 1834 electoral register includes a Joseph Munday of Church and Westland Farms. On the 1851 census, an unmarried Joseph Munday, aged 51 (b c1800), is resident at Church Farm. This must be the wealthy Joseph as the other one had already died. As that man was single in 1851, We can be fairly sure he is not the father of the children baptised in the 1830s. There is a baptism on 17 Sep 1799, son of John and Elizabeth, but this much better fits the known age of the wealthy Joseph. Also, John and Elizabeth's spinster daughter, Grace, died in 1858 leaving a will making her brother, Joseph Munday, gentleman, her executor. The other Joseph was an agricultural labourer and is highly unlikely to be described as a gentleman. As Grace was conclusively John & Elizabeth's daughter, the wealthy Joseph must have been their son too, meaning Joseph the labourer was not. I suspect this Joseph may have been a child of William and Mary, and therefore a brother of the Thomas Munday with whom he was living in 1841.
