Joseph Raynor – Siblings

Joseph Raynor

There is also a brother of Joseph as there was a photo taken of them together.  Unsure where the photo was taken, but I suspect it was taken in Australia. I think this because if the photo was taken in Sicily, why did he not also have a photo of his mother?  Also, all my family history research so far shows a pattern of ‘chain emigration’.  This is where one family member emigrates first and then encourages other family members to emigrate to the same location.

Given cost of travel back then, Joseph’s brother might also have emigrated to Australia – it seems unlikely he would come to Australia back then for a holiday.  It is also uncertain whether the brother is a full or half brother (ie. different fathers).
