Notes
Note
Joseph was born in 9 Nov 1857, but not baptized until 16 May 1864, the son of Charles Ramsay and Rebecca Sobey. In the 1871 New Brunswick census, he was age 10. On the 1901 census, Joseph's date of birth was May 5 1852, and he said he was born in New Brunswick - a mistake also made by his brothers and sisters. His grandson Merritt filled out his death certificate, but did not know much about his grandfather.
I believe he is the Joseph Ramsay who married Kate Murphy, in part because he named a daughter Rebecca.
