Hi Cane,

I can see he is in the UK in 1881, and by 1891 his wife is still in the UK with the children, she's stated as married but I just can't see Josiah. I haven't found him before the 1881 census..... did he also use the name Joseph?

according to a tree on ancestry he had another child frederick born in 1892 and josiah died in 1901 it says frederick was born in manchester.
