They had three children, Annie J (5), William St George (3) and Muriel (1). Also living with them was a nephew by marriage, John Strong; they employed two female general domestic servants. They were still living in Wigton ten years later, but at 20 West Street, Wigton, and Joseph is recorded as both a solicitor and a bank manager. Three children were recorded at home: Joseph L (9), Julian (6) and Gladys (8 months). A niece, Mary Stalker (21) was in the house and Joseph employed a governess, Gertrude Gray (18, b. Grantham, Lincs) as well as a general domestic servant, Jane Richardson (27). By the time of the 1901 Census the family had moved to Nottingham and was living at 44 Addison Street, Nottingham.
