There was no special documentation at this time when people changed their name. You just told the priest that from now on my name is NN, and the priest wrote it into the church book.
Josef was a rather uncommon name and the birth date is the same through the books, so this must be the right person. It was very common that you took a new name when you became an apprentice, took on a profession, moved to a city, married and similar occasions. He probably takes his new name when he becomes a paper maker apprentice and started to move around to several paper factories/mills.
I have followed him backwards in almost all books. (The picture numbers are from ArkivDigital).
