Research Notes

Conflicting information: GRO records show he was born in the Sept. quarter of 1869; other records show he was born and baptized June of 1869.

There were two Joseph Ralstons that died young. Both died in Manchester, Lancashire and both are buried in the same cemetery. One died in 1869, and the other died in 1871. Both were listed with ages of "0" in GRO indexes. Can only find one birth record for a Joseph Ralston in Manchester, which is "this" Joseph. Will go with death date of 1869 until further research proves otherwise.
