Marriage: 14 Dec 1676 Joseph Strong & Eliz. Wyard
Marriages Collection Middlesex: St. Katherine by the Tower - Parish Registers, 1666-1686On 14 December 1676 a Joseph Strong married Elizabeth Wyard in St Katherine by the Tower. She was probably the person of that name who was baptised there in 1654, making her 22 when she married Joseph. There is a probate record for Richard Wyard from around the same time, suggesting that he died shortly after his daughter’s birth.
Joseph Strong drew up his will on 14 April 1707. The will was proven in September 1707 and Joseph Strong appears to have died some four months earlier: the parish records of St Katherine by the Tower state that on 30 May a man was buried in the church by the name of Joseph Strong of St Katherine Street, the cause of death being ‘feaver’ (sic).
Joseph Strong’s wife Elizabeth seems to have died a year before her husband (she is not mentioned in his will), and of the same cause, a ‘feaver’. The parish register of St Katherine by the Tower records that, on 14 June 1706, a woman was buried in the church. There is then a gap where the Christian name should be, followed by the surname ‘Strong’ and the description ‘wife of Mr Joseph Strong Goldsmith near mill bridge’.

Register Type Parish RegisterJoseph Strong’s will describes his daughter Elizabeth as the wife of Maidstone clockmaker Walter Harris. Elizabeth and Walter were married at St Katherine’s on 26 December 1702. Walter Harris, clockmaker, appears in an index of Maidstone freemen, named as the master of an apprentice named William Gill, who was made free in 1713. A Walter Harris of Maidstone is also listed as a constable in the Kent assize records for 1683, but the date is probably too early for ‘our’ Walter: it might be his father.
Joseph Strong’s will also mentions his grandson, Joseph Harris, son of Walter and Elizabeth, who was yet to attain the age of maturity. There is evidence that the younger Joseph might have combined the trades of his father and grandfather, since the British Museum has in its collection a trade card for Joseph Harris, goldsmith and watchmaker of Maidstone
