There is a James Richardson aged 11 at the Brighton Industrial School with two siblings, Minnie aged 11 and Ruth aged 8. Was this an orphanage?

6. Email from Val Bray [mailto:valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au], April 01, 2007:
I have a correction to the family of William Richardson and Phoebe Beartup. Phoebe died on 4 Jan 1886 at Wartling, SSX aged 52 from abdominal tumours. William was the informant. William died in 1909 not 1885. Also James Henry, their son, born 1870 at Hove, died aged 1 year in 1871. All the information about the James aged 11 in 1881 is wrong.
Eleanor Richardson (married to William Dray 24 Nov 1846) died on 20 Jun 1892 at the Gatehouse, Chiddingly, aged 73 years from valve disease of the heart. The informant was William Dray. He died in 1899. Their only child, Richard Dray (born 1849), married Agnes Bridget Vaughy in London in 1875. He died in 1898. He was a Tobacconist / Newsagent.
Elizabeth Richardson (father John Richardson, mother Ruth Osborne) born 1817, married Charles Whiting 13 Feb 1837. Charles Whiteing died on 15 Oct 1900 at 22 Lansdowne Place, Hove, aged 86 years from plyoric obstruction. E. A. Whiting, daughter, was the informant."

CHRISTENING:
1. Source of christening information from extracts of the Registers of Arlington Parish Church, Sussex, England from 1700 onwards by correspondence (copy on file) of 30 Nov 1953 from George Mitchell of Berwick Rectory, Nr. Polegate, Sussex. Cover letter reads: "In reply to your request for information about the Osborne family, I have searched the Registers from 1700 onwards, and find the entries given on the enclosed sheet. It is unfortunate that the marriage entries are so few, but it must be remembered that marriages usually take place in the woman's parish, and there is no means of finding out where this might be apart from inspecting the registers of the district. I have no record at all under the name of Daw; Con Osborne is married to Sarah Coleman in his 24th year, but if this is the Sarah who died in 1806, he may have married again between 1806 and 1813, though for the reason given the marriage would not be in the Arlington Registers. I have an older Register going back to 1609, but I have not searched this; it is in latin, and would take some time to go through... There is no one of the name of Osborne in the parish now, and my oldest inhabitants cannot remember any family of this name. The parish, which still covers about 24 square miles, was twice as large until 1845, when a 'daughter' parish was carved out of it, and it may be that there are entries after this year in the records of that Parish... If you are interested in 'your old Church,' I may say that it is an unusually fine one, and dates back before the landing of the Conqueror..." He also notes: "It is more than likely that 'Osborne' and 'Osborn' are the same family, and 'Edward' and 'Edmond' may be the same person."
Baptisms:
1788 Jul 28, Ruth, dau. of Edw. and Ann Osborne.
DEATH:
1. Per copy of death certificate on file from the General Register Office: Hellingly Sub-district, Hailsham District, Sussex County, 1875, No. 273: Died 11 Dec 1875 at the Gate House Chiddingly, Ruth Richardson, female, 87 years, widow of John Richardson a roofer, died of congestion of the brain and exhaustion, reported 14 Dec 1875 by Eleanor (Gray?), daughter present at the death in the Gate House in Chiddingly.
