Apparently he divorced his wife and she remarried so he came out to australia to be with his son. Both men were merchant seaman and joseph served in the american coast guards during the war.Joseph married Louise Larkin in 1934 and they had a son john joseph. Louise died in about 1940 from tuberculosis.Joseph was apparently in a nursing home in melbourne victoria when he died.We think both men were given pauper burials.William was born in about 1872 approx and joseph about 1905 i think in wigan.Ihope this info may help someone and if anyone has any inf! o pls let me know.
