You have found your way to a branch of the Price family tree. According to
the 1851 and 1861 Worcestershire censuses,Joseph Price(1825-1899)worked as
a stone cutter. Joseph, emigrated to New Brunswick Canada from Hasbury,
Worcestershire UK c.1870. March 1871 census records show that his wife
Sarah(1826-1900)was living with the two youngest children,Maria and Alfred in 
the household of their married daughter Emma Willetts. There is no record of 
Joseph and this seems to indicate that he had left for Canada by this time. 
According to a newspaper obituary for Alfred, he was 14 years old when he 
emigrated to Canada.

 Although the 1871 census shows Alfred working as a labourer in a
coal mine, he resumed the stone cutting trade in New Brunswick, Canada with his
father. Both Alfred and his father were employed by the Fundy Red Granite Co. 
in St. George New Brunswick by 1877. They may have worked in Saint John, New
Brunswick prior to this. By the early 1890s Joseph Price and Son Stone Cutters
had opened for business in St. Stephen, New Brunswick.At least two quarries were 
leased,and the Prices often obtained red granite from Red Beach,Maine USA.In 
England,Joseph's brother Stephen lived nearby at Wall Well, and they worked at 
the quarry near Margaret Hill Lane(now called Quarry Lane) in Hasbury (a 
suburb of Halesowen), Worcestershire. Another brother,William (1822-1910) 
became very renowned as a lay Methodist preacher. It would seem that their 
father Joseph Price Sr. met an untimely end by drowning.
 
In the booklet "Hasbury from a Haystack" by Alan Bissell:"One of the men
who was much in demand when the first chapel was being built was a Welshman
named Price. Mr. Price was a stonemason who had been working on the Canal Locks
at Northfield. Hearing of work available at the Sandstone Quarries at Hasbury,
he came to live here and would have been very useful in cutting the sandstone
blocks from the quarry in the field near the site of the present church.
Sadly, Mr. Price died at the age of 43 leaving a wife and six sons. His wife
had to walk to Northfield every week to get half-a-crown to help her bring up
her family.The chapel prospered in a spiritual sense and the trustees
acquired more land from Mr. Partridge who owned the quarry at that time.
Mr.Partridge was a stone mason and the headstones that he made could be seen
standing in the quarry as the members of the congregation made their way
to the services. A sharp reminder of their mortality and need to make their
peace with their Maker. ...So the building of the chapel commenced. We have
no record of the men who did the brickwork except for the very fine bit of
the stonework which formed the arch over the front doors. This stone
work was the gift of William Price,who like his father had become a stone
mason. He gave the stone and the labour on it as his contribution to the new
chapel. The stone came from the quarry, which was situated in Quarry Lane.
They also borrowed the tackle needed to lift the beams for the gallery from
the quarry."
The area around the quarry is now residential, and there is nothing left of
the work area .
It is unclear who owned and or leased the quarry when the Prices'worked
there.Henry Rudge, Joseph's nephew through his sister Jane, is thought to have
been instrumental in bringing the Joseph Price family to New Brunswick,Canada 
c.1870-1871 to work on the foundation of the Marks Street School. Henry was a
contractor for the project. The Rudges later moved to British Columbia, Canada
as did Caleb Price and his twin sister Maria Shilvock, two of William Price's
children.
