Joseph Hugill was baptised 10 Jan 1823 in Helmsley Parish, Yorkshire, England; so the statement in his bio as to his birth date of 09 Nov 1823; is brought into question. Possibly born 09 Nov 1822? Parents on baptismal record are listed as John Hewgill, Carpenter and Mary Swales of Helmsley; Thomas Simpson, Curate

Rev. Joseph Hugill was reported to have married Christianna Kessack in London, Ontario, Canada, in the Christian Guardian of July 22, 1854. She died 25 Nov 1857 following child birth. He married second, Charlotte Vaux, daughter of Thomas Vaux (1797 - 1880), a member of the Legislative Assembly and later a Methodist minister. Joseph and Charlotte, were married Jun 30, 1859 in Toronto by Rev. Enoch Wood.

".....Joseph Hugill was an Anglo-Canadian, but upon more minute inquiry, we find that he was born in Yorkshire, old England, although brought up in this Province, to which he came with his parents at the age of eight years. He was converted to God in March, 1844, at a protracted meeting held at Switzer's Church, on what is now called the Streetsville Circuit. He was a light-complexioned young man, of good manners, who had received a liberal education; and his official obituary pronounces him 'a diligent student, a good preacher, a faithful, judicious pastor, a wise counsellor, and a warm and sincere friend.' Thus constituted and thus qualified, he was destined to begin with an important circuit (the Dundas), and to give great satisfaction in his ministry of the very considerable length of nineteen years. He was about the age of twenty-two at this his setting out in the work." from "Case and His Contemporaries; or The Canadian Itinerants' Memorial" by John Carroll, D.D. Vol. V
