I cannot get involved in this!
But we have a mining engineer, and that's close enough.

I have Thomas Richardson in my tree b 1859. I only have his parent's and siblings. A Richardson married in to my Stonehouse family.

[tommytoronto]

well- there are about 8 - 10 Thomas's on Freebmd, but there are only two Philip's. 

One is AMJ 1892 Vol 10a pg 927, the other is more likely -
it matches his age on the census  OND 1894 Vol 10a pg 919

There seems to be 7 options for John (assuming that his age is right at 3).

Please tell me if I'm off track as this is the first time i have done this.
