Just joined in on this. I have been contacted on my ancestry web page by AVM. My husband is the grandson of Thomas Ritchie. His mother is a daughter of Emily and Thomas. I have no new info to add to the thread as I have faced similar difficulties. It would be good to know who you all are and how you are related.

Hi Jane:

I received your message of Ancestry, and replied. I am glad we share Thomas Richey as a relative, and I DO remember your husband!

I am glad you signed up here, I have received such wonderful support in my research, and have made contact with a wonderful relative Jan Hollingsworth (Beckton) who's Grandfather is Thomas Richeys half-brother.

You will find this Thomas Richey journey we have shared on this site to be full of everything, well everything expect who he really was!

I also created a message inquiry thread about Emily Wood in the Sussex lookup request section on this site.... that also has a few surprises about Ms.Wood and her family.

So much I want to share with you, but it's late here (I live in USA)

I'll be back in a few hours.
Kind regards
Darren

How cool!

I used to partake in a few beers in The Maple Leaf pub adjacent from #16, Maiden Lane, and ate regularly in the Mongolian Barbeque restaurant that is 2 doors away! bizarre!

Hope you enjoyed the show! Was there anyone named Hollingsworth on the card?

Hi darren
no no one named hollingsworth. My sister texed me to say that her grandaughter Madi is going to be in a film she is only 6 so the acting proffesion is coming out in that generation.
I will send you some more paperwork soon.
speak soon.

Hi

I think i have found Eliza and Robert Smith's daughter Eliza's info. she was born 26/12/1856 and Christened 15/02/1857 at st lukess westminster.
She wed william betts in 1877 strand middx.and they had at least 6 children twin boys included. the twins were born in 1880/81 and John samuel died that year, also a daughter Eliza betts was born in 1879 and she also died in 1881. Eliza's husband william was born in 1883 and he died in 1890 Islington. I have added theses to my tree as i feel 95% that it is the same family.

Regards
Jan

Nice work Jan!

I am going to read back thru all this later on.

Was there any joy from the local historical/theatrical group you contacted up North about Hollingsworth tour up there?

No reply from them at all.
I have just found the birth of Edith Richey and her middle name was Bertha C how strange that Thomas named his daughter from Eliza Smith Bertha. I wonder if the C stands for cecilia as thats his other daughters name. What i find strange is that on berthas birth cert she is HOLLINGSWORTH but Eliza and Alice surname was Smith but the same mother.

It's getting stranger and stranger.
