Never pinned him down, the closest I can come to anything definitve is that his children were registered in Hartlepool between 1876 and 1882, the family then moved to Lincoln, a son drowned in Lincoln in April 1885 and my grandfather was born there in Sep 1885.
One thing I never did was get a cert for his children save for my grandfather and right now I don't have his voyage details in front of me, not that they give his address but they do give dates and destinations. In summary 1851 and 1861, living with his parents at Berwick, 1871 missing (at sea?), 1881 his wife quotes he is at sea and then the move to Lincoln between 1882 and 1885, he died prior to the 1891 census.

Every so often I look through an old notebook and wonder for a split second who the Hays were. Nice to see some photos!

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.

Now I wonder if this article refers to great grandad? The name of the vessel is interesting, after he retired and moved to Lincoln he had a daughter and named her Jeannie.
