Any info gratefully received on James Richardson from 'Ireland' who married Mary Winifred Fisher (1899-1974) Marriage abt 1917 in Gateshead. I have so far found no trace of where he came from, nor when he arrived. We believe they lived in Beechwood Gardens, Gateshead. Mary W Fisher was orphaned at a young age.

If you look at the marriage above it, same church, same day, same residence and father's details for the bride... I wouldn't be surprised if it was a joint wedding celebration for sisters.
