Susan, Have you tried to get his death records through Concord. About 1905 a law was passed that mandated that all towns were to transcribe and forward copies of vital records to Concord. There were a variety of levels of compliance. At Concord, if his records were forwarded, There would be a drawer with all the Richardsons in it for the state. So the town would not limit your finding it, that is if it was reported.
