Hi,
If my research is correct Joseph Voss is my 2nd Great Grandfather.
From what I have researched he was a drunk and eventually died from falling of the back of a wagon owned by a brewery. He had many children who he could not care for and many of them became wards of the state. He moved residence nearly every year around Fitzroy and Collingwood.
He worked as a farrier, a carrier and a ash falter. He declared bankruptcy while operating his own transport business. Thank you all for your discussion. You have given me some more info to add to my tree.
