We concluded that this is Joseph Haigh mentioned on the Hillmorton because:
- In the 1921 Census for Hillmorton his wife Mary Ann lists herself as being born in Stockton on Tees - see marriage
- His occupation in the 1911 census and 1920 death certificate are identical and unusual - Engineers Pattern Maker
- They had a son Cedric and a newspaper clipping from his wedding in 1940 states his father was the late Mr. J. Haigh of Halifax
