Occupation 1760 Sailor - From burial PR entry for his wife (transcription)
Residence 1762 South Blyth, Earsdon, Northumberland, England
- Two years after this Josiah remarried and then had children baptised in Earsdon parish. It seems he had moved from Bedlington parish to Earsdon parish. As the crow flies Bedlington is 8 miles from Earsdon. However, one of the Earsdon events is in the BTs on FamilySearch and shows he was then living in South Blyth. All he had done is move from the spit of land on which North Blyth stands across the River Blyth!

Shows Francis Browne married Jane Wheatley
In addition to the children shown a Francis, son of Francis was baptised in Tynemouth in 1730 and Frances, daughter of Francis, in Earsdon in 1733; I think these were probably both children of a different Francis (the dates would suggest that)
