Francis is noted as being a Merchant sailor, which may be useful for searching his records.

You may want to ask for a look up on the ship records on ancestry as he should appear even as crew. Hopefully with Mary and Joe on one trip :)

It seems that may be Mary accompanied him on that one trip - amazing, the woman seems to have spent her life churning out kids, doesnt she.

You didnt mention he was back in England - for ref - looking at the ages/places of birth of the other kids, I think there is a chance that there is a second marriage here?

You need someone with world wide ancestry.
