I am hoping someone can help me with any info regarding Joseph
I believe he was born around 1880 and died around 1956

Joe was a carpenter (possibly on the ships) and lived at Billingham Bottoms.

I am told he was something to do with the buffs in the area

Thanks

Wow - Dianne thank you very much - my dad is going to be suprised tonight. My mum said he had a strange middle name (Tulip)

I will go through this info later and let you all know the outcome.

Thanks Again
