Hello !
William Blackett Richardson married Jane Peacock Feb 22 1845 in Shildon Durham. He eventually leaves her and fathers a child , Mary Ann Richardson, to a Jane Vest (Best). The original Jane Peacock dies and William marries his second Jane on August 9 1858 in Leeds.
The family proceeds to NZ on the "Harwood" and then approximately 1864 arrive in the Newcastle area of NSW.
If anyone could flesh out this story, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks
alan

Thanks for your help so far!
In the 1851 census William is at the Joiners Arms Inn in Willington and says he is unmarried.
Jane Richardson (Peacock) is living with her parents Michael & Jane at 36 Adelaide St Shildon with what appears to be a child, Matthew.
The Jane Vest who later becomes Jane Richardson appears to be at 41 Dock St Huddersfield with her parents.
The child Mary Ann Richardson was born on 8 August 1853 in Grape St Hunslet. Mother was Jane Richardson, formerly Best !!(Probably Vest.)
I am guessing but I think William could not marry the second Jane until 1858 because the first Jane was still alive.
This Jane Richardson eventually dies in NZ in 1864. William marries for a third time to Annie McCutcheon and they travel to Australia.
On William's death cert. there are 13 children listed though the informant does not include the child to Jane Peacock.
I think this William Blackett Richardson was a bit of a character. I have found references to him in locally produced written material in the Newcastle NSW region.
Any mor help gratefully received.
Alan

Hi Alan,
Yes, he was a bit of a lad  If all our ancestors were boring it would take all the fun out of it 
Do you have contact with the person with a Tree on Ancestry that has him only having 1 wife Annie?

Hi
Well you were correct about grandchild Matthew Richardson born Shildon abt 1846 he is still living with his grandparents in 1861 census, Adelaide Street and another grandchild there too, John H Richardson born Shildon abt 1848! So where was John H in 1851?
The plot thickens 
Ref for 1861
RG9/3708/80/16

OK !!
Now we are getting to the nitty gritty !
1861 census : Matthew Richardson b. Shildon 1848 Grandson &
1861 census : John H Richardson b. Shildon 1846 Durham
He left both boys to go to NZ with Jane Vest (Best) taking also Mary Ann.
I have had contact with one person in Newcastle Australia who is the grand daughter of one of his children.
We can trace Annie McCutcheon (his 3rd wife ) into the 1920's, living with her children. Then she disappears. Probably went back to NZ.
There are newspaper reports of his second wife's (Jane Vest) death in NZ. She apparently drank herself to death. References are available !
Luckily, all this is on my wife's side of the family !!! My family is perfect!! At the moment !!
Thanks!
Alan

In the 1851 census, there is a John aged 5 down as a grandson but surname Peacock. Maybe our "John Richardson" at 36 Adelaide St Shildon.
For organising myself timewise, I am in NSW Australia. Can my helpers please broadly locate themselves so I can send messages at appropriate times.
Thanks
Alan

Oh well spotted Alan, didn't notice that about John Peacock aka Richardson. I have had a look for the death of Jane Richardson nee Peacock but too many to pin her down.
I am from the UK but not to worry just post when you can we always pick up.
Any ideas what we can look for next to help?

This might sound a small thing but I would really like to know how and when the Richardsons made the trip from NZ to NSW.
I have checked all the mariners sites that I am aware of with no result. The time frame I am working within is as follows:
William definitely in NZ on 22 Marrch 1865 as he marries Ann Jane McCutcheon in St Peters Church Onehunga.
Definitely in NSW by 28 Oct 1868 at Lambton NSW as he appears in the Insolvency Index of the State Records of NSW.
My interest in this family is that William is my wife's gg grandfather. We actually have two photos of Mary Ann Richardson after her marriage with her family. She married a Thomas Fairless Dent also ex Durham from Hetton-Le-Hole.
Thanks
Alan
