Pepper and Richardson

[maxitup1966]

I've just ordered the 1904 marriage certificate so hopefully that can shed some light 

When I started this family digging I was under the impression my family were part of the Hastings Old Town fishing community for the past 300-400 years ... oh to be shot down in flames !!
Great Grandmother Bowras parents come from Sevenoaks.
Great Grandfather Richardsons parents look like they come from Essex.
Great Grandmother Peppers parents come from Battle.
I don't know who one Great Grandfather was !
... and Great Grandmother Martins parents came from Iden !!!

I feel like a gypsy ... lol

Hopefully the marriage cert will make it clearer.
If Dad was Thomas, a coachamn, then grooms find will be confirmed (though he must have moved back to Sussex from Dorset at some time)

Do post the details on here when you have got the cert.

Meanwhile we will keep looking in  1901.

1901
RG13 1043 25 2

Bournemouth, Hampshire

John Richardson 19 boarder Stationers Assistant bn Hastings Sussex

This looks like the one that 'groom' found in 1891

PArents Thomas and Jane, and brothers Walter and Herbert have moved back to Essex RG13 1631 24 8.

But is doesnt really look lioke your fisherman who marries in Rye in 1904 ....shame

[groom]

Oh  bother

[groom]

John Thomas Richardson appears in the 1911 in Hastings, so where is he hiding before that?

[lizdb]

Well, who knows! The marriage cert will help us decide if that one is still in the running or not.

[lizdb]

Is he a fisherman in 1911?

Born Hastings?

Any more clues?

Ah modified to add - thanks for pm .

[lizdb]

OK - just to while away the time whilst we are waiting for the marriage cert, how about a different approach?
There is no birth reg for a John Thomas Richardson around that time. So lets wonder if he was born and brought up iniitially with a different surname.
There are births in 1880/81 in Hastings for:
JT Clark, JT O'Callaghan, TJ Swann, JT Wakeford (dies 1885) and JT Duly (dies 1885).

So, I am going to see if I can rule out Clark, Ocallaghan and Swann....


modified to add - OK , silly idea, I cant find any of them!!!
