Father of Caroline DAVIE, Joseph was in the Royal Navy on Caroline's marriage certificate in 1877.From contacts on genesreunited I am pretty sure that the Joseph Davie born 30 April 1815 in Bridport Dorset is my Joseph.
Joseph was the eldest of 11 children born to Joseph Davie, bn 22 July 1793 near Bridport and Hannah Budden, they married on the 6th April 1814 in Bridport. The family moved from Bridport to Alverstoke by 1828 where their 4 youngest children were born.
At least 3 of Joseph's brothers were also coast guards.
In 1881 Joseph (aged 67) was at Brook coastguard station on the Isle of Wight staying with his son George Alfred Davie as one of 5 coastguards. George was born in 1846 in Courtmacsherry in southern Ireland, this fact makes me believe that Joseph was a coastguard in southern Ireland, possible married an Irish girl and fathered at least 3 children.
Joseph married a widow (Alice Caroline Miller nee RAVENSCROFT) at St Pater Mottistone on the Isle of Wight, he died in 1899 in Lymington.
Thomas Davie born 1828 in Alverstoke (Joseph's brother) was also a coastguard but became a grocer with his son in the High Street, Freshwater.
