Joseph's father was Cornelius Buckley and his mother was Esther (Eliza) Scowcroft. His paternal grandparents were John Buckley and Mary Crook. He had two brothers and three sisters, named Josiah, Ephriam, Mary, Martha and Sarah. He was the oldest of the six children. He had three half-brothers named James, William and Squire.

General Notes
- 16 March 1854, Joseph was baptised as a young adult, aged 14. Both parents are named and there is no Joseph birth registered in Bolton, so this must be him !
  
  In 1861, Joseph (22), a cotton weaver, is the oldest son, living with parents at Knoll Place, Darcy Lever.
  
  6 May 1865, Joseph, a power loom weaver, is mentioned in the Bolton Chronical. He has emigrated to Pittsburgh, USA in late 1863. He attended Duff's Mercantile College at Pittsburgh, PA, USA and graduated in April 1865 (see news clip).
  
  28 Dec 1873, Joseph Buckley, a baker, son of Cornelius a labourer, married Jane Eliza Brown at St Giles, Oxford. This is abother person who had brothers George, Richard and John who also married at Oxford.
  
  Left home (married?) by 1871. There are 39 marriage records for Joseph Buckley in Lancashire between 1861 and 1871, but only one in Bolton. Another Joseph married Lydia Shaw in 1870 (Civil marriage). This was Joseph's cousin, son of Johnathan. There are no adult deaths in Bolton in this period.
  
  There's a Joseph (51) and Mally (49) living in Oldham above town with mother Esther Buckley (77) in 1891. Even though the ages match, this cannot be the same Joseph unless his mother was resurrected from the dead!
