      4. Henry married Jane Fowler 23 Oct 1847.They had daughters, Elizabeth, 1848, Mary Jane 1857.

      3. Email from Val Bray [valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au] Dec. 3, 2006: William Richardson (f. John m. Ruth Osborne) born 1821, married Jane Maria Bean on 20 Dec 1851. Children, John born 1852.

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? I have a death for a William Richardson in 1885 and Phebe Richardson in 1886. It is such a common name. I will send for some certificates to check.

      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.
