A member of the Carswell Family. Joseph was apprenticed to John Carswell (born 1713) at Burwash as a baker in March 1741/2 .

He is subsequently recorded as having paid scot as baker from 1748 (half-year), meal-seller & corn seller from 1758/9 and miller from 1772/3 until 1789. In 1777, Joseph bought a slaughterhouse in Church St near the Croft from Samuel Roberts and converted it to a warehouse [1].
