On 1871, 1881 census.
I know he was born in 1852 as a cousin told me.
On the 1871 and 1881 census the birth place is incorrect.

Have you more details on 1871 & 1881, such as where Joseph is or who he's with. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding him

Does it say mother Martha Barnes nee Downs or just say mother Martha Downs?
