Dear List, I have a census entry for a Josh Glossop where I cannot find a corresponding birth record as either Josh or Joshua(h) and I'm left wondering if the name could actually be a shorthand version of Joseph. The name is written Jos and then a superscript h over a dash, you can see the actual image here :- http://tinyurl.com/2htb52 what do other people think?
