There was Amelia born to Joseph and Elizabeth in India, who appears to have died there. There was a second Amelia born to Joseph and Elizabeth in Sutton in Ashfield/Mansfield Notts in 1827, but whether she is a child of Joseph and the original Elizabeth or Joseph and the woman he ran off with, I do not know. Amelia the Second died childless in 1901. Witnesses to Joseph and Elizabeth's marriage are James and Susannah Palmer, who both made their marks. AN

I was wondering whether that "officer in the Army" was a bit of an exaggeration.
The girls in India did tend to get married very young; I have a few in my family. Yes, since Amelia was born in India at about the same time that the two boys are supposed to have been born in the West Indies, that (the two boys being in the same family) doesn't seem to make sense!

Instead of brothers could they be cousins?

Quite easily Marg, even though Robert and Henry appear to come from two different families.
In those two adjoining parishes, St Leonard and St Margaret, there were a number of parallel families. AN

What of Thomas Beckwith, born c 1810, 41 in 1851 census where he is in Canal Walk Southampton with his wife Catherine, their son George Robert Burridge Beckwith and their daughter Amelia! Thomas was born in Madras, Catherine and George in Poole and Amelia in Thames Ditton.
Rats! This looks like the Utah one before he emigrated...and also as if Catherine was a widow with a son when he married her. I got quite excited there for a minute. AN

Found Thomas again on the 1841, living in Thames Ditton, but not, annoyingly, with his family.

Spent half the day in the Record Office today without moving any further on. There are some mentions of the wider family in the church's accounts, but nothing I can pin down to 'my' Joseph, no Court records, no gaol records, so I'm no further on.
I despair of this one. AN
