Profession: Ex-Railway Porter, Ex-Protege to Magnus Carrington, now trainee fireman
Current Location
Currently with his family in a small terraced house in Osway Street, or down the pubFrom Whence They Came
He’s a local boy with local family and a local job. His horizons are currently quite small, but he’d like them to be biggerKey Dates
- 1877 - Joe is born in the Cragg
- 1888 - Joe gets a job as a goods porter with the North Eastern Railway
- 1895 - Joe is dismissed from his job as a result of a fabricated complaint made by Robert Carrington
- 1895 - Joe is offered a job by Magnus Carrington...
- 1895 - ...he elopes with Pearl Carrington instead!
- 1895 - Returning home to face the scandal, in an effort to redeem himself and provide for his wife, he joined the Whitby fire brigade on a whim.
Connections
1. He is an old friend of Rose Ward. They were close as children, but drifted apart as young adults, and only recently reconnected.
2. He has eloped with Pearl Carrington
3. Robert Carrington hates his guts, and the feeling now is mutual since he got Joe sacked from the North Eastern Railway.
4. Magnus Carrington III offered him a job as his 'apprentice', but he has burnt that bridge
Potential Threads
1. Joe is football mad, so something connected with that might be fun
2. Joe likes a pint, so something down the Pub would be good too
3. Joe has eloped with Pearl Carrington. That's not right! Public and Private reaction, surely there's a plot there....
4. Home Plots. How do I put this? Things are slowly decaying at home, so there are oodles of plots there.
