If he married in Australia, why do you have this on the Cornwall board?

How do you know he’s the same person who married Amy and Emma?

He married Amy Harry in Cornwall at first,

Cornwall seemed the obvious place to start.

Do you have the marriage certificate for the marriage of a Josiah to Amy, showing father’s name and occupation.

You think he was 19 when married in 1861 and left Amy and children behind to come to VIC. Or, did he bring a family with him?

Have not found baptism for other sons – Ernest, Samuel or Josiah junior. However if this is the same Josiah that was in Australia in 1874, the last 2 sons (at least) cannot be his children, and they may have been baptised under another surname, or not baptised.
