He married in 1818 to Jane Williams, having four known children, and after her death married again in 1839 to Angelica Basil. " (In Australia) "I do not know exactly what happened after their arrival but I believe that they had a bit of money, descendants of the IKINS feel that Alexander and Elizabeth Margaret were set up originally with it, also young Joseph Jr did have work as a cleaner of Leather goods and dirty clothing it was his own business, also he had two shops in Hunter St Sydney and advertised many goods for sale for a Mr Brooks, but for some reason he gave up that work and left for India to work for Mr Brooks who was wealthy and owned the ship 'India" although Joseph was to travel aboard the 'India' he did not go I feel to not having clearance to do so and he left some months later, I feel fortune did not prevail as when he arrived it was the time of a depression in Calcutta, I have noted that a Joseph Crook joined the Army and married in 1818 to a Jane Williams.

"Joseph Crook voluntarily enlisted in His Majesty's Army and or the Forces of the East India Company, [At this time the English were still at war with the French called the Napoleonic Wars, so many English men were being rounded up for compulsory enlistments to fight in the wars against Napoleon's Army] He did not report for service and so was charged with desertion, he was arrested and faced trial. Joseph Crook was convicted on the 18th March 1806 at Parkhurst Barracks, Isle of Wight, England.
