Hi,

A possibility?

Marriages (from FreeBMD):

Also on same page      Sophia Harrington.

They married on 4 September 1848 at St. Mary's, Paddington.  Richardson was a shoe maker, as was his father William.  Sophia's father shown as John Harrington, gardener.  Witnesses were John Harrington (made his mark) and Mary Ann Gill, who signed. Richardson made his mark but Sophia signed.
