Joseph's Sponsor (God Parent) was Eliza Colgan, there was a Colgan family shared the house in Braithwaite Street in 1901, the mother of that family was Mary Ellen Colgan so it could possibly have been one of the Colgan family.

He was a soldier (machine gunner 16th battalion Dublin brigade) in the Free State army, who guarded over the republican prisoners in Mountjoy prison.
