Joseph Roberts was born about 1830 and baptised May 30, 1830 in Nedging, Suffolk, England to John Roberts and Mrs Roberts. It is possible he was baptised at St Mary, Nedging
There are many Joseph Roberts. Some in England, some in the United States. He very well could have married and had Sarah Roberts who married Frederick Punchard.
The 1911 census could be him, but no proof.
More in depth research required.
