Joseph Tett was born in 1812 at Hewish in the parish of Crewkerne in Somerset, son of James and Mary Tett. In 1841, when he was 28 years old he married Susan Forsey, from the nearby village of Winsham. Joseph and Susan stayed in Hewish, appearing there in each census from 1841 to 1881. Joseph worked as an agricultural labourer, whilst Susan was a glove sewer and laundress. Between 1842 and 1857 they appear to have had six children together.

Susan died in 1890, aged 74. After her death Joseph appears in the 1891 census living with his daughter Emily and her family in Dorset. He survived Susan by just over four years, and was buried at Crewkerne on 19th December 1894, aged 82.
