Hello List; sks has sent me this information. Name: Thomas Richardson Arrival Date: 15 Feb 1881 Estimated Birth Year: 1859 Age: 22 Gender: Male Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland Destination: United States of America Place of Origin: England Ship Name: Helvetia Port of Arrival: New York. I know this is a *long shot* but I wondered if there is someone out there who claims this THOMAS RICHARDSON as a relative? If so I have quite a lot of background on his family. He THOMAS was born in Worcestershire ( UK) in 1859/60! It gets complicated from here back; however he THOMAS, may have used the name HOPE in his future life.
