I'm still guessing which is mine but I'm heading towards the chap with the beard, there's certainly no other name I can put in that part of the country at any time other than Joseph and it came down through the Goulson family, his mum was a Goulson so it just adds a bit more weight to the argument.

My coal is spent, my iron's gone
My nails are drove, my work is done
