I'm looking for any information on the following family found in the 1901 census in England:

Lancashire, Burnley
160 Grey St
Bannister Halstead Head M 53 Cotton Weaver Overlooker Burnley
Alice " Wife M 54 "
Alfred " Son S 23 Cotton Weaver "
Herbert " " S 19 Cotton Twister "
Robert " " S 16 " " "
Joseph " " S 16 Cotton Weaver "
Arthur " " S 14 " " "

My great grandfather was Joseph Halstead b.1884 Burnley. He was a Cotton Weaver at the time of his son's birth: James Henry Halstead b.03/11/1906 14 Adlington St, Burnley. In The Burnley Express of 09/11/1955 he appears in a photo with fellow war veterans, having paraded with the Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association. He was 71 at the time and living at 8 Lawn St. He'd lost his leg serving with the Welsh Artillery in the Great War (1914-18). He served in Belgium and at Ypres.

His wife (Amelia Myers) divorced him, and with her young son, (James Henry Halstead) migrated to South Africa. She never remarried.

I'm keen to know if Joseph remarried and had any other children.

Any help gratefully received.
