I'm not familiar with Joseph, but I know about Eleanor. She
wrote children's stories and hymns and was quite well known
in England the 50s and 60s. She wrote "Morning Has Broken," a
children's hymn that Cat Stevens recorded in the early 70s.
Since she outlived her, apparently younger, brother by nearly
ten years, you might be able to find out something about
Joseph by doing research on her.
Good Luck, Jeff
