Help needed to find James Robinson Richardson of Nottingham, please.
« on: Tuesday 06 February 18 20:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I have reached a brick wall and I am wondering if someone could help me, please?

James Robinson Richardson was born in 1876 in Nottingham, and his father was Francis Richardson, a hosiery counterman, according to James's marriage certificate. James married Lizzie Gadd in Leicester in 1898, but I have been unable to find him in any census until 1901, so I don't know when he left Nottingham for Leicester.

I'd be very grateful if someone could find him in the 1881 and/or 1891 censuses, and his baptism too, if possible, so I can trace the rest of the family.

Many thanks,
Donna.

Hi,

Hi his birth registration in June qtr 1876 Nottingham gives his mothers maiden name as Taylor.

The only marriage in the time frame to a spouse with surname Taylor is this one from FreeBMD:

Richardson, Francis James to Taylor, Ellen; Sept Qtr 1865; Leicester Reg Dist; Volume 7a Page 253.


Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Odd, but I just don't see him (James) on any census with his parents.

Sure looks like the correct family,though:
RICHARDSON, FRANCIS  JAMES     mmnROBINSON 
born 1844  J Quarter in NOTTINGHAM  Volume 15  Page 574

Spoke too soon. He's possibly on the 1891 with his TAYLOR grandparents (James and Elizabeth) in St Margaret, Leicestershire.

Thank you so much Keyboard86, David and Maureen - all the info you've given me is a great help and I'm sure it's the right family.

I think I've now found Francis in the 1891 census as a widower, too. The age, occupation and birthplace all fit.

Best regards,

Donna.
