In 1941, I think they are at Prince Edwin Street, Walton on the Hill, West Derby, Lancashire, with all ages rounded down.

I can see three baptisms: Mary, Margaret Ann and one Sarah.

Sarah buried on 25 Dec 1834: on FindMyPast

So I guess this is the family?

Joseph Richardson, a Labourer & Mary. Parr St.

Margaret Ann Richardson

Liverpool, St Peter
Sarah Richardson

The only Mary I can find born 1822-1826 in Lancashire or Cumberland.
Mary Richardson 17 Feb 1822 Lazonby, Cumberland
Parents Joseph & Mary.

So was Margaret born in Cumberland and the family moved to Lancashire?

PS: The ships manifest might help but I can find nothing in 1850.

I did see that census, which I checked on Ancestry, they are listed as not born in the County, including Margaret?

It looks like there are baptisms at Easington and Stanhope where the other marriages took place. So the 1813 marriage looks more likely.

St Andrews Newton Kyme
The Register books commence in 1633. There is a chasm from 1636 to 1682

Henry Clapham 3 Dec 1696, eldest son of Thomas is the first Clapham baptism there.

I guess this is the Shropshire marriage you refer to, the first will be banns, the second likely to be the marriage date?

As William would more likely be twenty at the time and given the distance from his place of birth being more than 24 miles, I’m not so sure.

I think this earlier marriage might be more likely?

Jane Harper Burial 22 Nov 1804 Haughton, St Giles

Forton is a small village and civil parish in Staffordshire, it is situated east of the market town of Newport, Shropshire. Less than 7 miles from Haughton.
