...oh, he did! For a while. He changed it back again after the law caught up with him anyway. Probably decided to keep things simple!It would seem to me highly probable that someone with his history might have (gasp!) changed his name

Re: Lost! Scottish watchmaker .....
Hey
Appreciate this is a very old thread but am currently transcribing a list of names as part of the Corn Law Petitions and I came across this name and just thought Id do a quick search to check spelling , when I came across this thread.
If of any help, there is a Joseph Pozzie mentioned in the 1844 petition as a 'watchmaker' in Aberdeenshire. No location given but he is sandwiched between two signatories from Auchtigall , so presume he would have resided near there.
Hope this still of use!

Thank you, GaryA,
So Joseph was still in the North-east in 1844. He was in Kirriemuir in 1841, Lancashire in 1851 & 1861, then back to Scotland for a while.
I now have a fairly comprehensive picture of his life, but still want to know what became of him after 1883, when he was sentenced at Birkenhead Quarter Sessions to 6 mths in Walton Jail.
