BORN COTTINGHAM, HULL, ON 27/01/1873. LIEUTENANT COLONEL, OF THE ROYAL GARRISON ARTILLERY. DIED AT LYMINGTON HOSPITAL, ON 17/05/1917. BURIED AT HESSLE CEMETERY. HE LEFT £88 IN HIS WILL TO HIS WIDOW, MARY ISABEL PEASE AND AUGUSTUS GILBERT COLVILLE, ESQ.
Son of Henry Joseph Robinson Pease (1843–1892) and Dora Elizabeth Barkworth (849–1926). Joseph Robinson Pease was the third of the family to carry this name. He was born in January 1873 and married Nony Isabel Colvile (who was eight years younger) at Wolverhampton in 1899. It seems that they had three children, Nony in 1900, Humphrey in 1902 and Heyrick in 1906.
Joseph joined the Royal Garrison Artillery, and like his grandfather, attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He was tragically killed in the service of his country in May 1914. His body was returned to Hessle for burial in the cemetery. The 1911 census records Joseph and Nony at a rental flat in London, but Pease gives his postal address as Hesslewood House. A 1912 Directory records Hesslewood House as still being in the possession of J R Pease, but by 1918 it is unoccupied though in the possession of Mrs Pease, who was also one of the major landowners in Hessle.
