Possible, inview of area, though there are quite a few more on Freebmd with same name:

Deaths Jun 1850
SANDERSON Joshua Wortley 22 517

Thank you Ann and brummiejan, that is pretty conclusive and gives some suggestion of Joshua's year of birth. Shame he died before the 1851 so failing to give more precise birth details !

Maybe if youn get Martha's surname you can find their marriage? This cert would do it.

Births Jun 1844 (>99%)
Sanderson Lot Ecclesfield 22 160

Thans brummiejan, I already have their marriage

JOSHUA SANDERSON Marriage: 27 OCT 1833 Almondbury, Yorkshire
Spouse: MARTHA DYSON

and now with a better idea of Joshua's age I have found

JOSHUA SANDERSON
Christening: 17 APR 1798 Almondbury, Yorkshire
Father: HENRY SANDERSON
Mother: MALLY BEARDSELL

You will appreciate I am fairly chuffed but at present IGI is not throwing up any siblings for Joshua

There are a couple with father Henry but no mother named, recorded as York.

Name: William Sanderson
Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 01 Dec 1793
Baptism/Christening Place: Almondbury, York, England

Father's Name: Henry Sanderson

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I02050-1
System Origin: England-EASy

Reference Number: yr 1793-1806

The other possible:

Name: Betty Sanderson
Gender: Female
Baptism/Christening Date: Jan 1796
Baptism/Christening Place: ALMONDBURY,YORK,ENGLAND

Death Date: 28 Jul 1798

Father's Name: Henry Sanderson

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C01712-5
System Origin: England-ODM
Source Film Number: 230651
Reference Number:

I did see a death for William 1796 father's name Henry but I switched my attention to the marriage of Joshua and Martha, to take account of the earlier children in the 1841 census but nothing is showing up. Perhaps Martha is a second wife - further searching is required

Maybe more siblings ??

Thank you for the extras Barbara, I will add them to the tree.
I looked for Joshua's children Lee, Lydia and Jesse in IGI with no luck and the first two are before the marriage of Joshua and Martha (as I have found it). Please could you check you records to see if there is any detail on them?

Lee c.1825, Lydia c.1827 and Jesse c.1834
