Susannah Richardson

  Research Information:

It is noted in R.B. Richardson's history of his family (The "Swish" Family Richardson - 1998) that Ezekial married a woman by the name of Susan at some point between 1861 and 63.

Contrary to the Richarson family research that has been completed in the past; it is now evident that Elizabeth (Brown) Richardson (Ezekial Richardson's first wife) was not the biological Mother of Susannah Richardson.

By 1871 Ezekial had remarried. Also noted was the addition of a daughter, Susannah Richardson.

It is noted in the British Birth/Marriage/Death index's that Elizabeth (Brown)Richarson passed away in early 1859 (during the first quarter) - Susanna's birth occurred 5 - 6 years after the death of Elizabeth (Brown) Richardson in 1864.

The fact that Ezekial's daughter bears the name Susannah only goes to further re-enforce this notion.

In August, 2007 the above theory was confirmed by a descendant of Joseph Millthorpe & Susannah Richardson named Eileen Fenton. We met through the "Genes Reunited" website (based in the U.K.) and began to trade information on our common families.

Eileen has provided us with detailed information re. the Millthorpe & Richardson descendants - thanks are extended to Eileen for all of her help.

Susannah married Joseph Millthorpe, son of John Swan Millthorpe and Harriet Horne, in Jun 1885. (Joseph Millthorpe was born about 1866 in Barrow Hill, Staveley, Derbyshire, England, died in 1935 in Staveley, Derbyshire, England and was buried in Staveley Cemetery - Plot GG38, Staveley, Derbyshire, England.)
