Joseph possibly the son of Richard Holland and Rebecca Foster who married in 1838 West Bromwich
they had a daughter Catherine Foster Holland born 1839 also a son Joseph born 1836 died shortly after birth.It was often the custom to use the same name for a son born later.So it would appear that Richard was given his paternal grandmothers maiden name.
