Pepper and Richardson

so that must be the one the birth reg relates too.....

so that must be the one the birth reg relates too.....

And isn't the one in Winding St in 1901.   

There isn't a John or John Thomas born Eastbourne between 1880 and 1882, no Thomas born Hastings and only the John I found before born in Hastings between those dates. A real mystery.

I'm just looking through an 1895 edition of Pike's Hastings & St.Leonards Directory and see if I can spot any Richardsons in any of the Old Town roads, lanes and passages.

There's a Joseph Richardson at 23 Tackleway, Hastings

Apparently we have 'Richardsons Cottages' just off All Saints Street.
George Richardson is at No.2 and Richardson & Sons Mineral Works is at No.4

There's no real way of telling and it's very easy to go down the wrong path just because the names are the same. If I were you I'd wait until you get the certificate you sent for, post the details on here and we'll have another go. The dates of that one and POB  are wrong if that was the correct one in 1911.

I never was one for having patience 
I'll try another person in my tree till the certificate arrives

*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)
I think I found they were married about 1865 ish.
They had 4 children that I can see ?
Patience (b.1867)
... now there's a strange 14 year age gap where normally they'd squeeze 10 more kids in
Thomas (b.1881 and a candidate for my g g grandfather)
William (b. 1882)
Maggie (b.1884)

I'm not sure who her father is
In the 1851 census as a 4 year old sh's living with her 2 uncles (David & John McDermott) and her grandparents (Martin & Jane McDermott)
Is her father and mother dead

I think this is my family line as my cousin's mum remembers hearing the name McDermott mentioned by my grandmother over 60 years ago as a family name !!!

Either a lucky guess or my genealogy is vastly improving !!
