Derek Johnstone has provided the following:
Joseph Martin was born in 1890 at Gateshead, Durham. His mother was Mary Jane Martin who, in the 1891 Census, was aged 21, unmarried and living with her widowed mother, Mary Martin aged 45.
The next record for Joseph, who appears to have the middle name Milligan, is in the 1911 Census which shows Joseph was living at Whitley Terrace, Bedlington where he was single and working as a coal miner. At this address he was living with his uncle, Stephen Boyes Martin.
Joseph probably married Mary Jane Dickson in 1913 and enlisted at Bedlington when living at Glebe Row, Bedlington.
CWGC records show after his death his wife remarried and became Mary Jane Jackson, living at Old Hall, Bedlington.
He is remembered in Bedlington on B15.02, B15.06 and B15.26 page 102
