Note on Wife: Gertrude Bonnie CHARLESTON - shared note

Most of the information I know about John Joseph Charleston has come from his family living in USA.

John's first name is a bit of a puzzle, his family in USA knew him as John Joseph or sometimes Joseph John but his family in India knew him as Sam. In 1877 when John was 5, his parents had another son who they called John David Charleston, he died after only 3 months. I don't think John and Mary Ann would give two of their sons the same first name, but I have settled on a first name of John because that is the name he seems to have used in USA where he spent most of his life.
