Joseph Sims Warner born in 1813, in the 1850's was listed as a cutlery merchant in Portobello street at Hecla works. Nevertheless by 1858 Joseph was bankrupt, became a sales representative for Burton Brewery and 4 years later was jailed for a year for embezzling money.
After his due time he became a coal merchant.... Interesting life...
