Joseph James Merriott born 1866 Compton Dundon, Somerset

[doidy]

I would appreciate any help in location Joseph James Merriott born 1866 Compton Dundon, Somerset. He was the son of Henry Merriott & Charlotte Amelia nee Roberts. The last time I can find him is the 1901 census when he was a boarder in Bristol.
A gt niece of his seems to think he went to Australia & used to write letters to his nephew Sidney Merriott? However there was a younger sibling Harry who went to Canada, so might he have gone to Canada?
Henry & Amelia had 11 children & he is the only one I can't account for? I think others are struggling with him as 5 people have him on their tree, but nobody has him after he left Somerset.
Any help appreciated please.
Thankyou Doidy

Hi,
Thank you for that. It could well be the one I am looking for, though the age would be four years out? We all know that often happens though. I wasn't expecting him to be with anyone else. I will wait to hear back from the family as to what they think.

And in 1914 a Joseph James Merriott (occupation labourer) is on the roll of electors for Glenorchy, Grampians, Victoria.

Hi,
Many thanks for that, that would fit in with the gt niece believing he went to Australia. I will ask is Victoria means anything?
Thank you Doidy

Hi,
Yes I realise Victoria is in Australia thank you. I just don't know what to think? Is anyone able to find him after this please?
