Pepper and Richardson

[maxitup1966]

1911 census I thought 1901 was the latest

Certificate can be ordered online from www.gro.gov.uk, using the reference number from the marriage index that you can view on Ancesttry or on FreeBMD.

Yes 1911 census available - it is on FindMyPast (a subscription site) or on its own 1911 census site, where you can buy credits to look at entries

I see the marriage is under Thomas Richardson - not John

Jul/Aug/Sep 1904
Rye
ref 2b 4

Thomas Richardson / Emma Bowra on the same page

Are you sure this is the right one? Granny's birth cert would confirm.

And you really do need to find the family on 1911, to see how old John/Thomas was and where he was born.

The info on the 1911 is the same as maxitup has re POB and length of marriage.

I can't see a John Thomas Richardson born Hastings 1881 or a Thomas Richardson in the 1891or 1901. There is a Tom Richardson in the 1901 but his POB is Eastbourne.

I think I have found his death on ancestry as John T Richardson ... http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=onsdeath93&h=23935733&ti=5538&indiv=try&gss=pt&ssrc=pt_t23306143_p1373515172_kpidz0q3d1373515172z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid
I said "I think" cos when I just asked my Dad he said "Yeah it sounds about right" 

[groom]

That age fits with a birth in 1881. I wonder why we cant find him in the 1891 and 1901 censuses. 


This could be his birth, the certificate would give parents' names

John Richardson
September quarter 1881
Hastings 2b 21

Wonder if this could be him -age and POB fit and the fact father is Thomas

Thomas Richardson  26  Coachman dom serv   Great Bardfield
Jane Richardson       31                                     Burnstead Essex
Thos W Richardson     1                                    Hastings

Looks as if baby Thomas may have died.

He did 

BIRTH
Thomas William Richardson
Dec quarter 1879
Hastings 2b 19

DEATH
Thomas William Richardson
age 1
Sept quarter 1881
Hastings 2b 11

So it looks as if John was given the second name in memory of his brother.
