- Joseph is a brother to Benjamin in the 1841 census. In the 1851 census, Joseph is age 20, and was a grocer by trade, not a coal miner like his father. Like brother Benjamin, he also later became an Iron Dealer and had a nephew Albert Mathias, age 11, visiting him in the 1871 census. Albert Dimmack is a name picked up in our side of the family. He and his wife also had niece Martha Bunn visiting them, age 7. If memory serves, the Civil Parish of Dudley was in parts of Staffordshire and Worcestershire, England where Joseph was born. According to the 1841 census, he was Born in Staffordshire and in later census records his birthplace is listed as Worcester. I expect the later to be true as the 1841 census only listed a checkmark if they were born in the current county of Staffordshire. The census taker simply checkmarked the whole family at that point in time.
The 1881 census does give support to another theory. An Ann Dimmack, head of household, who was born in 1829 in Quinton, Worcestershire, England where Joseph Dimmack lived in the 1871 census with his wife, has a servant, a gardener and 2 nephews living with her. One of them is my Alfred, b. abt 1848 in Dudley, Worcestershire, England. He was listed as married and a Dairy farmer at the time. Another nephew is also helping her on her farm. His name is Albert Dimmack, b. abt 1861 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England.
He might be Mathias Dimmack's son Albert who was born in 1860 but in a different place or he could be a brother to my Alfred and was simply born after the 1861 census. It would mean that my Dimmack family moved right after the census to Birkenhead, Cheshire, England.
