*Joseph served in the Royal Navy and suffered a decompression diving accident (the bends) off the coast of Virginia, which rendered him unable to continue in British military service. His wife and two daughters arrived in the Port of Baltimore in December 1888, most likely immigrating due to his injury and inability to travel
