Gloria,
I looked in the 1851 Census Index for Montgomeryshire (CD pub. by Powys FHS)
and found only an older Joseph CHILTON -- possibly your Joseph's father?
1851 Census, Parish of Montgomery, Montgomeryshire
CHILTON, Joseph h m 59 stone mason SAL Chirbury Chirbury Road /f99/p17
CHILTON, Sarah w m 58 MGY Montgomery Chirbury Road /f99/p17
No sign of your Joseph born ca.1818 anywhere in Montgomeryshire in 1851 but,
if these are his parents, it's a likely parish to look for your Joseph's
baptism in the Bishop's Transcripts for Montgomery (LDS microfilm available
through the LDS FHC). Note this elder Joseph was born in Shropshire
(Salop), parish of Chirbury, while his wife was born in Montgomery,
Montgomeryshire.

Hi
I am looking for any information about Joseph Chilton born in Montgomery
c1818, he
married firstly Elizabeth ?? and secondly Margaret Gilchrist c
1866. He was a builder/bricklayer by trade and travelled the country a great
deal.
If anyone knows anything about him or his family I would be very
interested to hear
from them.
TIA Gloria Chilton
