Initial feelings.

At this moment in time I am of the opinion that there were two original Joshuas. An early one around Warrington, and the later one Joshua Bibby born 1770 Over Wyresdale. And that 19th century Joshuas were named for this one. (Except for the Scottish Joshua - not sure how he fits in.)

As I fill in the information I have gathered, I may well change entries. I am concentrating on the 19th century as there are more records to crosscheck.
