'Deceased' fathers didn't always actually exist

Have you looked for a baptism?

Hi,

I'm trying to find information about my 2x Gt Grandfather James Joseph William Breckon b c1822 in Poplar Middlesex according to census returns from 1851 on.

His father is listed as James (Deceased clerk) on his marriage certificate.


1851 Living Barnby, labourer in Alum industry.
1861 Living Kettleness, Jet miner.
1871 Living as a boarder in Glaisdale, Weighman in furnaces at ironstone mines.
1881 Living as a patient in Whitby Union Workhouse, Church Street Whitby.
1890 Died in Whitby Union Workhouse.

Can anyone help me find information about where he was between 1822 and !851. I have been told that sometimes when a daughter was widowed she returned home and took the family name again, could this be a possibilty or she may have remarried and become Breckon that way.

I just do not know where to start looking as I have no information on his mother.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
