The St Joseph complex continues to intrigue me. I would like to know how the whole area became known as the St Joseph complex in the first place. And also why there is a St Joseph altar in the Cathedral.

Q. Jill asks how we could search for, say, any references to John Smith in the newspapers between 1894 and 1899? - i.e. looking for a name within a five year period (or more) pre-1900.
