There is a lovely memoriam in the Shields Daily News dated Friday October 28, 1938:

RICHARDSON.- Treasured memories of my dear husband.  Walter, who died October 28th, 1937. - Though his smiles have gone forever.  And his hands we cannot touch, We shall never lose sweet memories, of the one we loved so much.  The flowers we lay upon his grave may wither and decay.  But the love for him who lies beneath, Will never fade away, for us he always did his best, May God Grant him eternal rest.- Sadly missed.- Always remembered by his loving wife and family.'

It is lovely -
‘for us he always did his best’.

I think John may be with his mother just before WW2 

Tynemouth C.B
Margaret E Richardson 1874
John Richardson 1896

Yes, I think this memoriam is lovely too - one of the most beautifully worded I have come across.

I think this is likely to be Margaret's memoriam in the Shields Daily News dated Wednesday, September 3, 1947:

'RICHARDSON.- Treasured memories of our mother and father, who died Sept. 3, 1946 and Oct. 28, 1937.  Not just today, but every day, we will remember them. - Always remembered by their family.'

As they both share the same grave I think this is likely to be a purchased grave and therefore they may have a gravestone.

Just to point out that the school records posted are not the right ones - John Richardson b.27/12/1898 was the son of a Walter Edward and Mary Elizabeth Richardson and actually a John William Richardson - his brother Walter born 2 years later.

Looks like Annie's husband John Richardson was born 29/7/1896 (son of Walter and Margaret) and died in Mar.qtr.1978 North Tyneside.

Thanks Annette - I have now found John also at Preston.  He died on 24th March 1978.

As this is a relatively recent death I think I may not be allowed to post all details but I will send Thefamilyresearcher a pm now.
