Children
They had seven children (see Frank's page for more details) including Violet Richardson.
The 1939 register lists her (well I assume it is her - she has cellotape over her name) as living at 4 Windmill Street, Brighton, Sussex. The members of the household are:
- Frank E. Richardson, born 23 Nov 1872, Carpenter Joiner Finisher Motor
- Catherine E. Richardson, 18 Nov 1873, Unpaid Domestic Duties
- Ronald A. E. Richardson, born 31 May 1902, Wood Carver, Widowed
- three closed entries (people born after 1914)
She went to live with her daughter Mabel Murray (a.k.a. Auntie May) and died in Newcastle.
Death
Death certificate of Catherine Edith Richardson - 5th July 1946 of cerebral haemorrhage and hyperpiesis. Widow of Frank Engleheart Richardson (motor coach finisher). Died at 39, Benton Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The informant was R.P.Richardson (son) from 11 George Street, Blaydon on Tyne.
The picture below was taken at her funeral. Clockwise from top left are: Frank (Mabel's son), Raymond Richardson, Frank Richardson, Ronald Richardson, Charles Richardson, Joseph Murray (Mabel's husband), Mabel Murray, Ronnie Richardson (Raymond's wife) and two of Ronnie's relations. Of her children only Violet and James are not present (possibly predeceased?) . Unfortunately the distortion at the top of the picture (especially on Raymond) is caused by cellotape damage.
Ronald Richardson married Cathy (another Catherine presumably!) and was a carver. Although the 1939 register lists him as a widower.
