Hi Phil :)

I imagine that you may be looking for a connection with Westley Richards? That would be interesting :)

Thanks Tricia, I have that, i'm more interested in Thomas. I saw one of the replies quoting Theophilus Richards and thought you were following the same family.

Fairfield was occupied by the Hamlen Williams family in late 19th Century. They were a well known philanthropic family in the Pontypridd area
Kellys Directory 1901 shows Theophilus Richards Hamlen Williams as occupier.

Dave,

Theophilus Richards, would he be connected to Birmingham by any chance. I'm trying to connect this family to Wales.

Regards

Phil

Hi

Does anyone know what happened to George Richards and his family?

I think I might be connected.

Regards

Phil

It might be possible that the Chippendale name might have been his mums maiden name.

He named a daughter Maria Louisa, was that his mums name???

I am going to try to look for connections in Brussels. Has anyone got any tips??

It's amazing what a phonecall can produce. It turns out George C is correct. My Mum was given a photograph after I asked her to speak with my aunt.

Now it turns out she did not know who he was, but his name was George. However, when Johns daughter Alice died, she had several pictures on the wall of George, he would have been her Grandfather. Those pictures will be in my possesion soon.

She also said, he had a studio in Gateshead, this would explain why one of his children was born in Gateshead.

My bad. Sorry Elizabeth was born in Whitehaven.

I wonder if John knew the Fee family when he worked in Whitehaven?

I'm struggling to keep up with all the data lol...

Thanks for all your help..

I found more info on the work house.

It looks like Elizabeth might have been born there as her mother and siblings are listed.

So it looks like they never married? I do know they had 18 children, but not all survived. I also think Donald was killed when his ship was torpedoed outside South Shields pier...
