Did they move somewhere after marriage and then come back. Not likely as Joseph described himself as Yeoman and farmers who owned land tend to stay put.


Joseph was a yeomen when he died, but he might have moved after marriage and come back when he inherited the family farm, then stayed put from that point. Joseph would be born abt 1703 from age on marriage licence but can't find his baptism.
