Next we look at the career of that younger brother, Joseph, born about 1795 to Thomas James and Lydia Haskoll. His marriage to Elizabeth Riley was in the British Embassy in Paris …
Joseph had a flourishing career as sculptor from 1824 to 1840, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy from 1824-35 and at the Suffolk Street Galleries, 1829-1832. His bust of Sir Isaac Newton, dated - 1834, is in Lincoln Public Library, while that of the 1st Countess of Yarborough, dated 1836, is at Brocklesby Park, Lincs.
By 1835 Joseph appears to have fallen upon hard times, as according to the Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660-1851 (1951) Joseph, son of Thomas James and Lydia Eaton Haskoll, applied to the Artists' General Benevolent Institution in 1835, stating he had "passed many years on the continent (Paris) and had made a bas-relief for a church in the Isle of Wight." (NS The bas-relief was probably part of the monument to Sir L. Worsley Holmes erected in the Arreton church, a model of which Joseph had exhibited at the Suffolk Street Galleries in 1829. Joseph died in Marshalsea debtor's prison on 26 Jan. 1839, "late of 44 Smith Street, St. Luke's, Chelsea, Middlesex." The Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors vested his estate to Provisional Assignees, a sad ending to a productive life.
