I also think that Joseph and Margaret (Nee Whitfield) are his parents.
The only thing is that on 1911 census for Joseph and Margaret they have son Matthew 1880/1 with them and it states he was married for 4years.

Unless Joseph and Margaret thought they had to put all there children down wether they were in the house at the time or not!!

Mary Report 24 Aug 2011 18:34

which 2 children did she have before she married Matthew??

She married 1906 and those two mentioned were 1907 and 1909.

When you view original 1911 it deffinately says surname Whitfield for both children.

Its those flipping people who transcribe the census records.
Giving Margaret a bad name LOL.
