ANN & GEORGE RICHARDS (Aust. emigrants 1886)

[hazy]

I am trying to trace ANN RICHARDS nee Godley, b. 1855 Farnsfield, Notts., England, who married GEORGE RICHARDS. They emigrated to Australia in 1886.

Any info much appreciated

Could you give their parents names - so as to confirm any we find

There are a number of children born to a George and Ann in the Newcastle district of NSW

18284/1891  RICHARDS  GEORGE A  GEORGE  ANN  LAMBTON   
18887/1893  RICHARDS  HILDA A  GEORGE  ANN  LAMBTON   
30819/1889  RICHARDS  ELSIE  GEORGE  ANN  MEREWETHER 
10118/1895  RICHARDS  GEORGE D  GEORGE  ANN  ADAMSTOWN   
22757/1897  RICHARDS  VERA  GEORGE  ANN  NEW LAMBTON   

A birth transcription for any of them would confirm whether the mother was Ann Godley - although the 1897 would confirm whether the others were siblings so I would probably use it

If you know the parent names and they died in NSW you should be able to find the death records. There are 3 pages of deaths to 1955 for George, quit a few in the Newcastle area. There are many less for Ann - spelt with one n - (could be many with Anne) including one where the age is given (index error or parent not known) 1926 aged 71 at Stockton.
