We dont know when Joseph was born or where. The second son's name is Steve and he was born in Boston in 1960 and not 1961 as we first thought.
We understand that Steve's Aunt still live in Boston so we surmise that there is a stronger connection to Boston.
Sorry what we have is very sketchy but Steve would like to know more about his brother Michael.

Do you know when Joseph was born, please? Do you know his second son's name? Do you know what the connection is to Boston?

Another question:
Joseph died in a mid-air collision over France - Air Iberia. He was cremated in Oxford. Where could we find death records?
He was given a Naval send off as he was in the US navy at some time. Dont think he was in the Navy when he died.

Can anyone help out there!!
I am looking for a way to find any info on Joseph H (H on his marriage in Wandsworth, Surrey to Jean Papworth but we thought it was a M for Michael).
We believe he went back to the states after he married definately by the time his second son was born in 1961.
He died in a plane crash over France in 1973.
His first son was Michael Joseph born Surrey (Wimbledon) in 1958 we dont know whether he remained in the states or not.
We would be grateful for any info or any help as to where we would go from here.
Thanks a lot
Chris
