Joseph Hiram Roughley is the son of Peter and Mary Maria (Marland) Roughley. He was their eighth and youngest child. Joseph Hiram was born shortly after Peter and Mary Maria joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Upholland, and they gave him the name Joseph Hiram after two early leaders of the Church--Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum. (Most English records spell his name Hiram, rather than Hyrum , which is the spelling used by Hyrum Smith. Some of the English records drop the initial "H" on his middle name, reflecting that way it was probably pronounced, and some records identify him as "Joseph Iram.") Joseph was the only child of Peter and Mary Maria who was not christened in the Church of England after his birth, but he was blessed shortly after birth by Church Elders consistent with the practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Joseph Hiram married Fanny Hallworth at the Church of St. Paul, Skelmersdale, Lancashire. She is the daughter of Samuel Hallworth. They were the parents of four children, two of whom died as infants. Joseph Hiram's parents and two of his siblings who were most involved with the Latter-day Saints emigrated to the United States in the 1880s. Joseph Hiram made a trip to Almy, Wyoming, where his parents and other family members were living in the mid 1880s soon after the death of his first wife and the death of two of his children. He did not remain long in Wyoming, and he returned to England and his second wife.
Joseph Hiram married 2nd Alice (Baxendale) Jewitt in the Church of St. Paul, Skelmersdale, Lancashire. Alice is the daughter of John Baxendale and Alice Smith. Alice (Baxendale) Jewitt was previously married to John Jewitt on 15 October 1877 at the Church of St. Nicholas, Liverpool. Joseph Hiram and Alice were the parents of four children, and Alice had three children from her first marriage to John Jewitt. Joseph and Alice initially remained in Skelmersdale for several years, but before the 1901 U.K. Census they moved to Ince in Makerfield south of the city of Wigan, Lancashire. At the time of the U.K Census of 1911, Alice and the three youngest children were still living in Ince. She was identified as married, but Joseph Hiram was not with the family. The 1911 Census shows Joseph Roughley as an "inmate" at the Work House at Whiston in Prescot, Lancashire. The Work House was originally a facility for feeding and housing paupers, but it became a place where people with medical or mental issues also were housed. The fact that Joseph was an "inmate" rather than a "patient" according to the census record suggests he may have had mental issues. The English Birth-Marriage-Death Index gives Joseph Roughley's death in the first quarter of 1912 (January-February-March). The St Helens Cemetery and Crematorium records that he was buried on 6 February 1912. (St Helens Municipal Council, Mersyside, England. Deceased Search. http://crem.oltps.sthelens.gov.uk/).
