Joseph Brown, cannot locate him

[GGYD]

I have been, Joseph and John Browns in abundance! Nightmare

That was my thought too.

Meant to also add, William is buried at City Cemetery - with 4 Browns in total in plot, including a Margaret Brown of 82 Tennent Street, who died aged 18 in 1891.

Joseph and Sarah Brown both 26 yrs - he is a Rivetter 
Relative Mrs Brown, mother, 230 Tenant Street Belfast
His place of birth Castlerock

Going to brother in law James Maddock ? 31 Thompson Street Schenectady

Just to keep up the standard- the writing is awful

I just wondered if they emigrated... and they did.

But I can’t see Joseph and Sarah.

I can't thank you enough Heywood!
What a great piece of research!
You've found him.
And it was Sarah and Joseph who were married with riviter as the trade!
Amazing, all involved, a huge THANK YOU!
Especially Heywood, great work!
I've not got 'world' on my Ancestry, how can I go about trying to find Joseph and Sarah in America?
I spoke to my Dad about this last night, and he said there were rumours in the family that someone went to America and was in WW1??? Could it be Joseph?? Looks likely, I've no idea where to start!
You're all great
Thank you

[heywood]

It has been a concerted effort. Scotmum put us on the ‘rivetter’ trail 
Family Search has US censuses - that is where I found the Maddocks. I have looked for Joseph and Sarah to no avail.
I would now post on USA board and reference this thread but especially the post with the information.
There may be obituaries etc.

All good wishes
