The one I'm looking at seems to have him connected to a wife named Margaret, but the wrong census records.

Those census from 1920 onwards that are attached, do not seem to tie in - Makes me wonder if there is a wrong connection  ???

What is it that's not tying in...?

It has Thomas living in Beaver Co., Pennsylvania in the 1920 & 1930 census, which is at the opposite end of the state from Philadelphia, where he was in 1918 and 1942 on the draft registration cards.  The Margaret he was married to was born in Massachusetts per the 1920 & 1930 census, but they have what appears to be a totally different woman linked for the 1940 census in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

I think that tree contains a lot of guesses.

Ah, so it's mistakes on their tree as opposed to mistakes in the facts presented here? That's OK then :)

This newspaper has a listing of the marriage license for Thomas & Margaret under Daily City Statistics - http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1912-05-12/ed-1/seq-37.pdf

The 1912 Portland city directory has a listing for Thomas F. Joyce, tinner for Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. shops, residing at 519 Kerby.

Thanks for the link! At 20 and "25" I'm beginning to see why Margaret was denying being 28 already...!
