Hi
I have just picked up your message and its great to see there is a link between our families and that your father can remember Joshua. I hadnt realised he used to go up to Scotland, although there are quite a few stories of him just taking off and disappearing for weeks on end. I know he used to visit barton Mills in Scotland. he was certainly a bit of a character as far as I can gather (not always in the positive sense either)
My direct email is
