I do apologise, I had no idea. I just wanted to know if what I wanted was on there before paying out a subscription fee.
Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you for your replies.
He was quite a prominent figure so I imagine he would have made a will.
Maddy s52. Would you be able to tell me if there is an entry for John Edward Richardson? His death date was 23rd November 1940
Many thanks

Could someone please advise me of how I would be able to apply to get a copy of a Will for someone who died in Ohio in 1940?
Many thanks

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Batley woollen workers, Germany 1880s

Another late addition to this thread.
It has been very interesting to read these posts as my 2 x Great Grandfather John Edward Richardson spent time in Germany/Austria before going to America where he did well enough for himself to warrant a mention in the book ‘Progressive Men of Northern Ohio’:
“John Edward Richardson, Ravenna. Manufacturer. Born Liverpool, Eng., Aug. 5, 1863. Educated in the common schools of England. Apprenticed to Chemical & Dye Works at Yorkshire for three years. Then went to Germany as superintendent of Dye Works at Vienna, Austria, three years. Supt. of factory at Tourcoing, France, one year. Came to United States and located at Providence, R. I., for five years. Then to West Troy, N. Y. Came to Ravenna 1898. Director Seneca Chain Works, Kent Vice president Ravenna Worsted Mills Co. Ravenna Gear Works. Supt. of Dyeing, Cleveland Worsted Mills Co.”
Although born in Liverpool, by the time of the 1881 census he and his family were living in Denison St, Batley & he is described as a Woollen Cloth Cutter. I have no idea how his career progressed from such a lowly start or even what lead him into that industry given that his father was described in that same census as a “Grocer & Provision Dealer”.

Hi med_saff
With help I was able to locate John Edward Richardson in America where it seems he did very well for himself. It is looking very unlikely that the alleged theft was ever committed.
If you require information about him please pm me.
Many thanks

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Trying to find a marriage with very little information
« on: Friday 04 November 22 13:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
In #53 bbart asked me if No.130 Wickersley Road was a private house and I replied that it had been demolished. However, I have now seen Wickersley Road on a map dated 1950 and No.130 is still standing. It was renumbered as No.2 when the area was redeveloped - one of the few houses in that road that escaped demolition.
Therefore, could someone please advise me on how to find out if there is house history for that address and if so, how I may be able to gain access to it (as suggested by bbart) in the hope that maybe it will lead me to find out more about Benjamin's 'wife' Amy.
Many thanks in advance.

What a sad story and what a small world. I have just been looking at pictures of the Catherine Wheel and I have been there!
Pre-Covid a small group of us Freeman descendants would meet up to have a wander around Meesden Church graveyard and then get a bite to eat , which got increasingly difficult as so many of the country pubs are closing.
The name Tofts rings a bell. I think there may have been Tofts in Meesden at some point as I think I may have seen some Toft headstones in the graveyard there.
