Annie Wigham Seaham and John Richardson North Shields c1900
« on: Friday 13 April 18 15:18 BST (UK) »
I am building a tree starting from my maternal grandparents and I’ve found a lot of confusing information on one side that I’m hoping someone might be able to help with.

John Richardson, can’t find specific date of birth but it seems he originated from North Shields and working back from his marriage in 1921 he seems to have been born around 1900

He married Annie Wigham in 1921 in Easington area (seaham specifically) however, the records show her Christian name as Sarah (?) they had a son in February 1922 John Richardson but seem to have divorced some time shortly afterwards. There is a record of Annie Wigham marrying Michal Bolton a sea captain from Seaham and having another child, Michael.

Annie seems to have had two female siblings, EVA (Tout nee Wigham who died in London in the 80s) and Ellen who seems to have lived in the York area.

Living relatives recall that John Richardson (Snr) lived at Springfield Gardens in North Shields in c1950 and that he remarried but that is as far as I’ve managed to get.

Has anyone else researched the same lines?

Hello and welcome    :)

What details do you have from John’s marriage certificate in 1921 - his father's name and occupation and witnesses?

Regards

That seems to be them, a very short marriage before their son was born in February 1922

Is this their marriage?

Yes, that’s Annie’s second marriage. Is there a way to find out when she divorced and on what grounds?

I’m afraid I don’t have that certificate. However, from responses below, I can now start to look for it
