Joseph Hick was a confectioner and businessman in the city of York.
1822 – Joseph Set up in business as a confectioner at 48 Coney Street.1
Some directories list Joseph Hick as a confectioner at 48 Coney Street, and others list him at 47. Charles B. Knight suggests this is likely because property numbering was newly introduced and inconsistent initially.
1829 – youngest of Hick’s three children is born; daughter Mary Ann.
