Well done Joan,
Thought you might have the answer. I am in Oz at present , although only in Melbourne area and Queensland this time.

I have that Joseph married to Ann Horton as you say but don't appear to have children recorded, although I haven't got FTM with me so am using PAF so this might be wrong.
Regards,
peter
