Hi again Hanes Teulu,
Thank you again for your time and effort. I read the inquest on Joseph, How interesting, and all those unfortunate people who died..

He is the Joseph on board the Lord Hungerford.. I have him and his family in Tasmania. it is pre Tasmania I'm in search of now.. Your help and Jomot's help has been great, I really appreciate it.. Thank you both.

I've looked at some baptism for Joseph, not that there's a lot, which is a good thing, I found a couple of possibles but theyre in Hampshire, and one is in  Hertford, about an hour and a half from london. Wondering if I should stick with London area, or venture out on the chance the earlier family lived somewhere else and made their way to London. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
