Hi Everyone, Thought I would ask the list for some help with finding John and Jane RICHARDSON in the 1851 census. I have found them in 1841 and 1861- information as follows. I have been through the 1851 film and cannot seem to locate them in Hertford and a friend who has the London cds for 1851 has found only one John and Jane Richardson but he was not a Wheelwright but a labourer and born in Scotland. I should say that she only looked in and around the address they were in 1861. Today I found the first 4 children in the All Saints and St John film. Mary Anne b 1842 looks to have been christened in St Andrews Hertford for the IGI. In 1841 the eldest child Sarah Jane is with her Nicholson grandparents and it looks like Eliza may have died although I did not find any burials in All Saints and St John. But then again the film was pretty awful in parts so I may have missed them. I think I found wife Jane still alive in Marylebone as a boarder. William and Mary Anne's entries in 1861 do not give occupations which makes it a little hard as there are a couple of possibilities for Wm Richardson in later censuses. So far two failed attempts at death certificates for John and Jane have curbed my enthusiasm somewhat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
