Hi all
I want to thank you all so much for helping me find my Joseph. Through something I already had which matched the advice I got on here, I've now confirmed that the 1870 Joseph IS MY Joseph!
Heaven knows why he put a different DOB on his Merchant Navy records. Maybe he just didn't know his DOB, but I'm leaning more towards the fact that he was bit of a 'lad', and for whatever reason, he didn't want people to know.
I've been looking for him for SO long, and have given up many times. I was always only guessing that the Joesphs I found with different birthdates, might have been the same man.
But now I have concrete evidence, and I'm SOOOO happy!
Now I can carry on and go further back, and maybe try and find more of my family. I hope it's easier from here on in!
Thanks again to everyone - you're all stars!!!
