Notes for Joseph Winters:
Joseph was born in Langford, Bedfordshire on 17 May 1856, the son of Susan Winters,
nee Newell. The fathers name is not listed on the birth certificate. Little
is known about his young life, but we do know that
he worked as a farm labourer on a farm in Cambridgeshire
before he came to New Zealand.

He left England on the ship Baron Aberdare as an
assisted immigrant on 8 December 1874, arriving
Auckland on 19 March 1875, travelling north to Aratapu
in the Northern Wairoa.

He met Amelia Elizabeth Benger there, and they were
married at her home in Arapohue in April 1883.

Joseph had been prone to mental illness and on March 3,
1888 was admitted to Oakley Hospital suffering from a
mental breakdown, suffering for a period of 1 month
due to malnutrition. He was to remain there until
18 November when he was released back to Te Kopuru.

However, he was to suffer another breakdown, and on
April 9, 1892, was readmitted at age 39. He was to
stay until his death which was caused by liver trouble.
He had died at 8.30 am in the morning.

He was survived by his 2 sons, William and Harold.
