After his father's death in1893, Joseph Arthur's mother married again, but she was already separated from her second husband when she enrolled Joseph at the Bluecoat Hospital School, Liverpool in 1899.

He married Annie HUGHES (born c. 1848), a schoolteacher, and resided at Rossgarron, Magherafelt. They had eight sons and one daughter. The daughter, Nancy, was my grandmother. Six of the sons, John, James, William, Charles, Richard and Henry, emigrated to Australia between, I believe, 1898 and 1912. Only one of them, Charles, ever came back to Ireland, making two trips in the 1950s. On the first of these trips, in 1954, his wife, Mary Ann (Martha), died and is buried in the grounds of St. Swithin's Church at Magherafelt. They had two sons, John and Robert. After her death, my great-grandmother, Annie Stewart (nee Hughes), decided to go to Australia (in 1914) to visit her six sons. She was to stay for six months but World War 1 broke out and she was unable to get home. In 1918 she had a riding accident and sustained a leg fracture. She never fully recovered and died in 1923.
