Hi Denise,

Its great when everyone can get together and help someone.

Vida - Look at the website Leodis. Basically it has some fab old pictures of Leeds and the surrounding area. Your ancestors were living at 50 Pollard Street. There is a picture of the house on there.

Hi Denise this sounds about the right dates It is my husbands father and we don't know much about his family, he had 2 sisters 1 named Elsie the other named Rene 2 brothers Frank and Alfred
My husband was told that the family came over from Russia many years ago and changed their name to Richardson. We would love to find out if it is true.
Thank you
V.Pauline

It appears from the 1891 census that the story could be true as Henry is down as born Russia.

There seems to be confusion over where Henry was born as 1901 gives Poland!!

Relation: Head

You really need Joseph's marriage cert for proof that his father was Henry.

Christine

Can you help me I have got the marriage certificate of Joseph Richardson
married to Cathrine Shea in Leeds in 6 June1904. His father was Henry Richardson can you tell me was Henry from Russia or Poland and can you find his parents thank you
Vida

Hi Vida.
Im wondering if Henry lived on the border of Russia /Poland.
Difficult to find his parents until you get his real name ,if as was said he changed it

1911 census.
Henry Richardson 1851 Leeds
I entered born Russia and he showed up

Hi Quinsgran I don't know how to find out if the name was changed, it must have been I don't think he would be called Richardson if he was Russian
Vida

Hi Vida,

I wonder if this is Henry's marriage certificate?? It may give his fathers name, now whether Henry will say Papa Richardson, well I really dont know......... with some luck it may give another surname for his father??

Thank you Denise was his wife named Marther Clayton
who is Mary Jane
Vida

Hi Vida,

According to the 1891 census his wife was Mary J, so I'm presuming that Mary Jane Frith is his wife, however I am only going on names and areas. The other 3 names ( there should be 5) are nothing linked to your family, just other people getting married in the same time and area.


And this looks like her death, just prior to the 1901 census;
