William RICHARDSON was born 1810 in Brede, Sussex, England. He married Hannah FULLER in 1829 at Brede. In Oct 1837 they along with four children arrived in Sydney on the Augusta Jessie. Two more children were born in Sydney.
William was listed as a labourer and Stone cutter on the shipping list.
A number of trees on Ancestry have his death in 1876 as William John RICHARDSON, but there is no sign of him in the NSW BDMs either as William or William John, so have no idea where that information came from. No sign of Hannah's death either.
Some of the children moved north into southern Queensland so its possible William and Hannah moved that way as well.
A fresh pair of eyes might find something I can't.
Thanks

Is this the right William and Hannah Richardson?
Camden News 2March1939 http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/141151824 (last column)
William and Hannah Richardson came from Sussex, England, to Australia in 1837, with their son Thomas D. Richardson, the father entering the employ of the Oxley family at Kirkham. In 1855 Thomas leased a farm at Cawdor, and in 1877 purchased property at Elderslie and established an orchard. The late George J. Richardson, ex-president of the Nepean Shire Council, was a grandson of the original settler.

Thanks everyone so far.
William's parents were Thomas and Mercy.
Yes William Henry was a son, and Thomas D.

Thought we'd seen these names before...........

Now to William RICHARDSON.
The only immigration record I can see on the Augusta Jessie for a William RICHARDSON - age 27, labourer and stone cutter, 2 children, and is to be in the meploy of J SLADE (HADE?) at 42shillings per week.
http://indexes.records.nsw.gov.au/ebook/list.aspx?series=NRS5313&item=4_4780&ship=Augusta%20Jessie
(Just an aside, and is probably just a coincidence as this record does not show the origin of the passengers, there is also a Richard BATEUP, farm labourer, 34 with 5 children on the passenger list.)

Qld BMDs has this death
1905 C79 William Henry RICHARDSON
Parents: William Henry Richardson, Harriette Ann Fuller
Sorry - not much help in finding William and Hannah.
Note - need for care as there was another William RICHARDSON taking up land in Goulburn and Berrima areas in the 1800s. He was a surgeon.

Hi there, I am Leanne and I am researching my Richardson family tree, from Brede Sussex. Like many people I am also stuck on further information about Thomas Richardson (b. 1777) who married Mercy Furner. Have you been able to establish any further information about his parents?
Also, in researching William (John) Richardson who married Hannah Fuller, do you have accurate information about his children? I have his son, William Henry Richardson who is my direct ancestor.
I also have the following: Thomas Dockery, Lewis, Harriet, Sarah and George. But I am not sure that I have correct information about where they were born - some in Brede and some maybe in NSW? Also Ancestry trees suggest that he also had other children but I not sure about them.
Any help or information you have would be much appreciated!

Bumping this one up as it can now be finally completed.
Ordered a transcription of the death of William RICHARDSON who died in 1861 in the Albury district, which arrived today, and it is him.
Died 7 March 1861 at Manes (sic), District of Albury.
A Farmer, male, aged 52. Age a couple of years out, he would have been 50
Born Sussex, England, in NSW 23 years (Arrived 1837 on Augusta Jessie)
Parents Not Known
Married England to Harriet Fuller (should be Hannah)
Children 4 sons, 1 daughter living, 1 daughter deceased
Informant Lewis Richardson, son, Jingellick (sic)
Cause of death was a fall from a horse
Buried 9 March 1861 at Tumberumba (sic)
Burial witnesses William Richardson, Lewis Richardson (two of his sons)
Can anyone assist with the names marked with the (sic). Do these places exist today or what are they called today. Did find that Tumberumba still exists but is now know as Tumbarumba. Jingellick appears to also be still there but without the K on the end. Would Manes be Mannus which is near Tumbarumba.
Thanks

Report of his death
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/30631205 (last paragraph)
Yes, Manus, Tumberumba and Jingellic. Also spelled Tumbarumba in other articles in 1861.
Modified to add:
There are also some articles that refer to Mr SMETWICK's station Jingellic. (SMITHICK in the report of Richardson's death).
-
Thanks Maddy.
Had looked on Trove for anything about William in March 1861 but didn't find anything. Must have been using the wrong search criteria.
Ian C
-
The death registration said he was buried at Tumbarumba, but looking at cemeteries in that area it said that it started about 1874, so not sure where he would have been buried.
Ian C
-
Trove has some accounts of his death - he apparently fell from his horse.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/283318820
The Wynyard Times, Tumut, Tuesday 19 March 1861, - Page 2
This account is reprinted in a number of other publications.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5698538
The Argus, Melbourne, Vic, Mon 18 Mar 1861
Do you know where his sons were at the time? It isn't unusual for burials to be on private land.
Also Manus now seems to be listed (on Googlemap anyway!) as Mannus.

The son Lewis was working at Jingellic about then. The son William married in the Albury district in 1854, and a daughter Sarah also married in the Albury district in 1857.
I have just found out that William and Hannah may have had more children. Nothing in the NSW births other than George J in 1839 and Harriet A in 1843. They have parents as William and Hannah with the district code of MF, which is the Parish of St Lawrence, Sydney.
Looking at the deaths there are a few with that district code, so could they be other children of William and Hannah. There is a four year gap between George and Harriet, and a gap between Lewis 1837 in England and George as well.
Esther 1839, infant
Hannah 1845 age 29 - the mother
Harriet A 1845, infant
Henry 1842, infant
Robert W 1844, infant
If they are theirs then perhaps Hannah died from childbirth complications after having Robert W.
Are the St Lawrence records available anywhere online or do I have to order a transcript from the NSW Transcription Service.
