Thank you Jeanette - I will bear that in mind. At the moment I think it complicates things even further but I will explore it when I can think a little clearer on this. Regards, Dea |

Lynne, No ! I have followed Sarah Richardson's family back and they all ft together - her father is Thomas. The Samuel and his large family that I have found have no proven connection to Sarah + her father Thomas or to any other member of Sarah's family that I have so far. They have just come together via Mary Downing who seems to be Samuel sister-in-law - She is also mother of Richard (who married Sarah) - I NEED to connect Samuel with the rest of the Richardson family but not via Mary Downing (if you see what I mean?)

Can anyone help me unravel this please: Trying to make it as clear as possible but it's VERY complicated: Mary Chesters was born c 1836 – Cheshire. In 1856 she married Samuel HICKTON and was later widdowed. In 1871 she married Samuel DOWNING and was later widdowed again before 1881 when I have her on census living with her (HICKTON) children – Including Richard L. HICKTON (who is really Richard C. Hickton). Born c 1859. Meanwhile…………. Richard C. Hickton then marries Sarah Louisa RICHARDSON so I have been following the Richardson line back – Doing very well but ended up with a ‘spare Richardson family who I know are connected. This family is headed by Samuel Richardson born c 1838 – I followed him right back and then forward again – when I got to 1891 I found Mary DOWNING there as his ‘sister-in-law’ !!!!!!!!! Mary DOWNING – ALSO appears on the 1891 a second time – living with some of her children (Hickton’s), BUT, ALSO there is Alice RICHARDSON – who I believe is one of Samuel Richardson’s daughters. Therefore – she is on the 1891 twice and obviously has a ‘bit of a thing’ for Samuels but I can’t work out the sister-in-law relationship and how Samuel relates to the other Richardsons . PLEASE help with some suggestions. Many thanks, Dea x |
