Is anyone able to tell me whether Job is short for Joseph? or short for another name, or a name in its own right? My g.g.grandfather Job Underwood, who I have just dicovered on a marr. cert lived in Wales. |

Job is pronounced Jobe - I think there is an expression "this would try the patience of Job" - sounds appropriate for this hobby!! Maz. XX |
