Joseph BADNALL (1700-c. 1740)

1. Joseph BADNALL, son of Christopher BADNALL (c. 1674-1723) and Sarah WHIELDEN (c. 1673-1734), was born in August 1700 in Spath, Uttoxeter, Staffs. He was baptised on 26 August 1700 in St. Mary, Uttoxeter, Staffs. He was an Excise Officer. He married Mary CHURCHMAN on 10 April 1726 in Abergavenny. He died circa 1740 in Bristol, St. James.

... of Bristol. In or about 1720, Joseph joined H. M. Excise Service in 1720 and was posted to Bristol as a Division 5 Excise Officer. On the 10th April 1726 he and Mary Churchman were married in Abergavenny and subsequently lived with Mary's father, Richard Churchman, in Bristol. The couple appears to have had two children, a daughter who died in 1729 and a son, Joseph II. Although Joseph Badnall remained in the Excise Service for at least 14 years, he thought the work poorly paid and fatiguing and attributed the several bouts of ill health that he had suffered to this. He therefore sought to quit the service by finding a less onerous and better paid post. His search was no doubt aided by contacts made during his years in post but perhaps more particularly by those of his father-in-law. He appears to have been successful for in 1731 he wrote to his mother to tell her that he was " now in election of another place if it happen right; 7 gentlemen concerned they offer me a good house ale & beer fire & candles & I have proposed £70 a year as salary but have not there answer as yet, I am to be clark to a brew house & malt house & look after the men in there business".

He subsequently (February 1733) asked his brother to find someone of standing who could petition the Commissioners of Excise on his behalf for a share in "the £10 Charity for Superannuated Officers".

Whether his petition achieved this aim is not known but Joseph did leave the Excise Service and became, eventually, a maltster.
