Hi, You ommitted your name! so can't use it to say hello. Yes the age does fit; you have the details of his arrival. The problem of course is making a connection. It is the same for me. Only the fact that he vanished from this countries records after 1871, and is not listed as having died (death records were in full swing then and mandatory), and did not appear on the 1881; makes me *think* that the THOMAS listed is the one. I would like more proof, as you would no doubt. I will put together the details of THOMAS RICHARDSON in this country along with any official record copies, and send it in a later email attachment. Is that OK?
