Pepper and Richardson

Got my first 12 month imprisonment ... attempt to ravish ?  I guess that's now classed as attempted rape

Hi gang 

The marriage certificate has eventually arrived 
He seems to quite often drop his christian name of John Thomas, preferring simply Thomas.
No addresses which is a shame 
Very puzzling as to why they should get married in Brede Church ??
It says they are residents of Brede ??
I don't suppose I would gain anything by going to Brede Church ??
His father George Richardson appears to have died before his sons marriage. 
If I've found the right one, I think its the last quarter of 1901 although I can't find him in the 1891 or the 1901 census.  Jane was lodging with James Jennings in 1891
This now ties up with Jane McDermott being George's wife and Thomas's mother so that's a plus 
The only siblings I can find for Thomas are William & Maggie, which for Victorian times is unusual unless some died.

Soooooo many more unanswered questions

Here's the certificate

if they were living in brede then it would make sense to marry in the parish church there

who are the witnesses Ann maria duly and JOhn gallop?
 

[groom]

Just seems a bit strange that a fisherman would be living in Brede and not on the coast. 

What was the occupation of the George that you found earlier?


 

*Newsflash*

While I'm waiting for the marriage certificate to arrive I've carried on digging ... as blokes do 
I've found George Richardson (b.1846 Hastings) married to Jane McDermott (b.1849 Hastings)

[groom]

A George Richardson died Dec quarter 1901 aged 56 (so born abt 1845) Hastings 2b 17.

[groom]

Have you seen the 1851 census HO107/1635/455/33 ? Hastings

George Richardson 36
Patience Richardson 39
Elizabeth Richardson 11
Deborah Richardson 9
GEORGE RICHARDSON  4
John Richardson  1

This could be Thomas's father in 1851. It is the fact that his mother was called Patience as I believe the one you found called his daughter Patience.

I've just been looking up Patience Richardson and it seems she was Christened twice !
Once in 1866 when she was born and once in 1876 I think when she was 9 ?
The second one has the added 'E' middle name letter but the mother and father are the same.
I can't view the original so I assume its an ancestry.co.uk mistake

[groom]

Certainly looks like the same one. The second one says:

Patience Elizabeth Richardson
birth: 7th August 1866
christened: 26th January 1876
age at christening 9
father: George
mother: Jane

Perhaps she wasn't expected to live at birth and was christened quickly as the first christening was on the 12th August 1866.
It does say collection All Saints under both, so I wonder if that was the church? If so it might be worth trying to find out where the records are and looking at the originals. Both are extracted records from the IGI FamilySearch.
