Died: 1923 Essendon, Victoria.
Aged 86 years.

Joseph arrived in Australia ahead of his parents and siblings on the Great Britain in 1861 aged 24 years and is not included on the passenger list. I expect he came out before them to find work and living quarters for his family. Their was also a C REDDROP, aged 19 years, recorded on the Great Britain but I have not confirmed if they were related.
