Hi Jill,
Thank you for writing. I've been spending a lot of time sorting and annotating all the facts that so quickly became available to me. Also current family members are making demands for attention. Some are even about to descend upon me!
The baptismal record of 1767 could be the Joseph in my tree. This is not absolutely proved, but I think it just possible. It gives further information, in the event it is reliable: i.e Joseph, born in 1767, was the son of another Joseph and his wife Lewis (Lois).
The Joseph, son of Joseph and Susanna, and born is 1807 again is problematic. The 1841 Census shows a Joseph born in 1811. That is a difference of 3 to 4 years. However, dates of birth in the documents of this period are notoriously changeable. I also wonder if there is a possibility that the Watlington you mention in respect of Mary Richings is possibly Wallingford; or would she bel likely to have been married in Wallingford, or is it likely as a place of registration of civil acts such as marriage?
I would be glad if you would let me know where the baptismal records are located, please. I will be paying a visit to England perhaps later this year. In this case I think it would be incumbent on me to look at these records and see if I can reconcile the discrepancies that are currently leaving matters in doubt.
Thank you most heartily for letting me have this information.
