Does Joseph have an occupation on the marriage certificate?

On Ancestry...immigration there are lots of mentions of a Joseph Haslam, born 1894 England as a crew member. Could that be him? There are no nok details.

Can anyone sugest where to look for Joseph Henry Haslum born 27/11/1893 in Tilehurst Berkshire . He married a Kate Emily Downes in1916 and had two daughters then soon after 1920 disapeared never to be mentioned by the family again. I can find no record of death, emigration, remarriage. I have traced a sister Daisy Haslum through GRU but the owner of that tree has no other Haslum family info either ? Are there any other areas to look ie prison records?
