Joseph Harrington was born in 1809 at Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.1 Sawbridgeworth is a large parish of about 6,638 acres in extent, divided from the county of Essex on the south and east by the River Stort. The ground reaches an altitude of about 300 ft. in the north, sloping down towards the valley of the Rib on the south and east. From the main road here a view is obtained over the river into Essex. The chief crops are wheat, barley and beans, about half the area consisting of arable land.2

He was recorded as living with his wife, her mother, her cousin and a servant in the 1851 census at Eastwick Hall, Eastwick, Hertfordshire. He was recorded as being 42 years old.1 Joseph Harrington was a bailif in April 1851.1
