I'm looking for this fellow. More precisely, I'm looking for his son, also named Joseph. Does anyone have these people in their tree?

At the time of the 1871 census, the elder Joseph was living at 10 Bainbridge Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool:
Joseph Drabble, Head, Married, 57, Stone Mason, Born Chester
Cathrine Drabble, Wife, Married, 55, Born Manchester
Alice Drabble, Dau, Unmarried, 20, Born Liverpool
Mary Drabble, Dau, Unmarried, 19, Born Liverpool
William Drabble, Son, Unmarried, 19, Labourer,Born Liverpool
George Hooley, S-I-L, Married, 23, Labourer, Born Liverpool
Cathrine Hooley, Dau, Married, 23, Born Liverpool

No sign of the younger Joseph here and he wasn't in the 1861 census either, though he is there in 1851 aged 13. I believe by 1861 he may already have been in New Zealand, but does anyone know this? And when did the older Joseph go out there to join his son?

No, I didn't. But I was asking on behalf of Jeff Drabble who lives near Napier and to whom I suspect you are probably related :-) ?

Hi there

According to a family tree my father did, Joseph Drabble's son, Joseph, was born on 13 November 1837. He married Jane Maxwell in 1857 and died on 3 Sept 1915.

They had 7 children.
Sarah Jane 1858
Elizabeth Alice 1861(died 1862)
Elizabeth Alice 1864
Thomas Henry 1866
Jane 1869
Hannah 1873 (my great-great grandmother)
Joseph 1875

The first two children were born in Liverpool and then they came out to New Zealand on the British Crown, arriving 16 August 1863.

The older Joseph (b. 1813) and his wife Catherine, came to NZ on 27 Dec 1874 onboard the Geraldine Paget. Joseph died on 11 March 1889 and Catherine died on 24 Feb 1889.

Hope this helps.

I have recently been researching the Drabble family that you posted about. I am a descendant of Mary Jane Drabble and Hohepa Huria in New Zealand.. Joseph and Catherine came out on the Geraldine Paget and landed in nz 27 Dec. 1874 at Lyttleton.
The younger Joseph and his brother Thomas came out on the British Crown at an earlier date. If you have already received the information then I apologize. However I can certainly shere information on the Drabbles that came to New Zealand. My private email address is rewi@xtra. co nz.
