Thanks to both Lenore and helachau.

I will pass on the information to my friend.

Fascinated that they were still looking for information about him in 1902, when he must have been born around 1807.

From the digging around that I had done his wife from the UK, whom he seems to have split up with before the 1841 census, went on to bigamously remarry in 1843 (before Joseph's conviction) under the name "Seedall", and in the town where I live.
