Am I right to think that Joseph, shown at baptism as Joseph John POTTER was the Joseph Goatham POTTER who married in New Zealand in 1882?
From the marriage register entry the parents are right but the age is wrong. The age given in the marriage register suggests he was born about 1847, though the age at death registration suggests about 1842, so halving the discrepancy with the true date.
I think Joseph was lying about his age, to make the difference between him and his wife not so great.
It is possible that Joseph John, son of William and Ann, died and that they had another they named Joseph Gotham POTTER. However, for this to be the case 3 things seem to be missing: the burial of the first Joseph, the baptism of the 2nd and the birth registration of the 2nd. It is highly unlikely all three would be missing / mistranscribed. Hence I do believe this Joseph is the son born in 1836.
