Joseph James was the eldest son of James and Mary Hughes Buttfield. The date of his birth is not known, and the date of his death was about 1934. He lived in south-east London, and most of his working life was spent with the well-known biscuit manufacturer Peak Frean.
After the death of Joseph in 1934, his widow Matilda Maud continued to live in the south Norwood district until 1944, when she died as the indirect result of a "flying bomb."
