 Tom    The Joseph Garrett in the trove article is the correct Joseph Garrett being my Great Grand Father indeed.



Regarding Sophia  Welsh.  WELSH was is wife's [Jane Murthe] Mothers Maiden name.

OK  I have learnt quite a bit more on this matter since my last post.

Mid last year I received a DNA test for my birthday through ancestry.com and then by also joining heritage.com I was able to work through DNA  matches, other family trees and  then on to links which ultimately confirmed Joseph Garrett was born to  JOSEPH GARRETT 1787 - 1840 and Elizabeth Bissell 1786 - 1872

Job [Joseph] Garrett was born in 1831 at Pishill Oxfordshire England with siblings Lucy 1816-1902
Joanna 1818-?  Mary Ann 1822 ?  Augusta 1824 -1861  Sophia Maria 1827-1900 Thomas 1829-1911  Sarah

Joseph came to Australia aboard the Donald McKay  .vicnet.net.au/~murtoa/donald_m.htm
on his own in 1856 arriving in Port Phillip.

Still working on more detail so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sophia Welsh is unlikely to be the name of his mother in fact  Welsh is on one of Josephs children's birth certificate it is his mother in-laws surname.  Elizabeth [unknown ] ,Bissell is my guess but looking for confirmation - information

There is too many variations conflicting ages to work out what his DOB is.  There is a Job Garrett born in Oxford shire in 1824 1829  to Joseph and Elizabeth Garrett  in Oxfodshire seen in two census 1841 and 1851 and not after that could be the case due to coming to Aust  in 1856 aged 23.

I know this thread has been going for a long time but I still have interest here and still seeking the same info.
Re date of birth. There is conflicting dates on ages on birth certificates for his children compared to his marriage. Marriage 1872 say was 33 wife 23   and a birth certificate  has ages  in 1890  Joseph 51 and Jane 38  He defiantly died in 1899 and death notice in paper says he was 70 Was from Hadley on Thames Oxfordshire
He arrived in Australia in 1856 aged 23.

This marriage certificate 1872 has his Father as Joseph Garrett and mother Elizabeth maiden name unknown. I have thoughts it could be Bissell

A recent DNA test and retirement have me back on the hunt.

Hi Eric, many thanks for your reply. Not a lot of history to go on here other than what I have read from news paper articles but back in the late 18th century in a small country town there was little that made the papers. To my knowledge Joseph hadn't gone by the name of Job but anything about him I have seen was only on official type stuff so not even the name Joe was used.
 
I haven't been able to establish when he came to Australia but have seen a birth certificate where its listed his place of birth and some parents details as well as Janes detail. Did see the Donald
Mc Kay somewhere too. As for Jane she possibly came here either with or to with at least one sister Eliza who married a William Watts in 1861. The name Murtha Murther or Murtagh may have been mixed. 
 Sounds like you have a good grasp of much of what I know already. I will round up some details to share. David

Hi All,
        I am the great grand son of Joseph and Jane, Grandson of Joseph. I have a long standing interest in this family tree and knowledge of most of what has been discussed here so far. I am so pleased to read of others with the same interest.
My father and his sister are still alive with some recollection of the family. I am keen to share and learn more practically so pre Australian arrival history. 
A news paper article had Joseph serve in the Crimean war, On a birth certificate he signed with an X so I assume he was un able to write.

Re Marcella's birth date is a question
