Any chance he might have been Richardson rather than Richie? Witness at his marriage was Jane Richardson.
There is a birth registration in 1885 - John Richardson, September quarter, Morpeth 10b page 359
Newbiggin was in the Morpeth registration district.
Who were this one's parents? I'm not up on the history of the coal mines of South Northumberland/Gosforth area but could the one that John worked at have been exhausted and he moved to Failsworth? I have many mining ancestors who moved from North Wales to Staffordshire to West Yorks, etc. because of such closures. Gadget
Gadget,
There is a John Richardson and a John William Richardson both b. Morpeth Sept Q 1885, but the man at Morpeth said neither were born in Newbiggin!
I have two cheques with the Morpeth Register office and told them the story with my application form.
The thing I'm not sure about is whether we stick to a John Richardson (as there doesn't seem to be any Ritchies around this time) born in Newbiggin and give it a wider time frame... or we are better sticking to the Aug 1885 date and see which John Richardson's fit the bill?
There are other John Richardsons born between 1886 -1887 in Morpeth too.
The surname the family have maintained over the years was Ritchie... but as there was a Jane Richardson at John's wedding it makes sense that it could have been Richardson.
If John did lie about his age for his wedding (as we know Mary Jane Sidlow did - she was 33 in 1911... then she was only 30 when they married!).. then there might just be a John Richardson born in Newbiggin the year after??
Not sure about when the pits starting to disappear? Moving to Manchester would make sense, but there must have been a reason for changing his name!

I browsed the Baptisms of St Bartolomew's, Newbiggin Parish Church
( Church of England) today @ County Record Office.
1880-1888
No Seymour, Richardson or Ritchie candidates.
~~~~~~~~---------
Generally speaking, the coal mines of Northumberland & Durham thrived until 1950/60s.

Also - why would he move from Gosforth to Lancashire 1911-1913?
