From other researchers:
- Son of Henry and Mary Richardson, from parish baptism transcript.

- 1756: Baptism dates listed as both 17 Feb 1756 and 17 Sep 1756, in Brede Sussex

- Henry (1756) must have had a falling out with his father [Henry Sr] around 25 Dec 1787, as Henry Sr. forgave his son Henry his debts only up to that date in his will.. As mentioned in his father’s will: son, Henry Richardson, Church Farm, Brede “now in his occupation settled on him on his marriage” [1777].... One theory is that when Henry’s father [also named Henry] lost his wife [Mary Sweetlove, died 1778], that he may have entrusted the upbringing of the younger children to the Proctor family c. 1784 [The Proctors were his son - this Henry’s - inlaws; his mother-in-law Sarah Proctor is mentioned in Henry Sr’s will]. His father remarried in 1782 to Sarah and started another family, but their second baby died in 1784, then Sarah died in 1792, probably ill for a time before this - a lot of stress for Henry Sr, who also married a third time in 1794 to another Sarah Rumins/Rummens, signed a marriage agreement with her and rewrote his will in 1796. This Henry (1756), being the oldest son and having married well, would have felt the pressure to assist, at a time when he was trying to raise his own family.


RESEARCH NOTES-
- Brede baptism records do NOT contain an entry for a Henry Proctor Richardson. I have assumed, based on his middle name, that Henry Proctor Richardson was the son of this Henry Richardson and his wife Martha Proctor. Based on ages at death from their death certificates, both Henry Proctor and James would have both been born abt 1789 - twins? Or as death ages aren’t always reliable, and baptism dates can’t be equated to birth dates, Henry Proctor could have been James’ older or younger brother.

- a burial for a Henry Richardson, 20 Nov 1807, Brede, St George, but no age listed - possibly this Henry? (SFHG Richardson burials in Brede, index lookup by Roger Rushton)
On 22 Apr 1777 when Henry was 21, he married Martha PROCTER, daughter of Thomas William PROCTER (ca1702-1775) & Sarah SUSANS (1715-1802), in Rye, Sussex, England. Born abt 1755 in Brede, East Sussex, England. Christened on 4 Jun 1755 in Rye, Sussex, England. Martha died in 1835; she was 80.

RESEARCH NOTES
From other researchers:
- Mary Richardson b 1761 married William Williams on the 7 Oct. 1780, not the Rev. Richard Wadeson as you suggest. I checked for Richard and found he married a Mary Williams on 20 July 1789, in Brede, being a widower at that time. Looks like Mr.Williams died and Mary then married the Reverend? Probably so.

- LDS Seal to Parent: 11 May 1969; Temple [OAKLA] Oakland, CA
On 7 Oct 1780 when Mary was 19, she first married William WILLIAMS in Brede, East Sussex, England. Born ca 1760 in Of Hastings, Sussex, England. William died bef 1789; he was 29.

- came from Hastings, but married in Brede 7 Oct 1780.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- probably died by 1789 when his wife Mary remarried
- there are only 3 Williams buried in Brede, none of whom is named William.
On 20 Jul 1789 when Mary was 28, she second married Rev. Richard WADESON in Brede, East Sussex, England. Born ca 1761.

- LDS Seal to Parent: 11 May 1969; Temple [OAKLA] Oakland, CA

- Sarah wife of George Richardson 1766-1808. He was a doctor, the son of Henry Richardson and Mary Sweetlove. Sarah was his second wife. Previously he was married to Rose Picknell. I have Sarah's maiden name as Brese, but I don't know the source of this info. It seems to be her who married William Davis because the marriage record on the IGI says Sarah or Mrs. George Richardson. Curiously, I found a Spencer Davis born in Pett, Sussex about 1815. She probably wouldn't have named 2 sons Spencer even of different fathers, but it's worth checking out.

--- The marriage entry on IGI in which Sarah is referred to as 'Sarah or Mrs George Richardson' was input by a member of the LDS church and is not one of the the parish register transcriptions and therefore may or may not be correct. The transcription of the marriage entry in the Brede register does not mention Sarah being referred to as Mrs George Richardson. ... The second wife of George Richardson (surgeon of Brede, widower) was Sarah Brese ( a widow of Goudhurst) - they married at Goudhurst in Kent on 31 July 1799 [as per] the Sussex Family History Group's Sussex Marriages' transcriptions on CD.... The Spencer Davis who was baptised at Pett on 21 August 1814 was the son of Thomas and Anne Davis. Neither William Davis nor Sarah were buried at Brede but they had 4 children baptised there - William 1813, Harriet 1814, Margaret Ann 1816 and Philly 1818. William Davis was a shoemaker according to those baptism entries.

--- I was looking for the spouse of my relation, Elizabeth Charlotte Walker (1860-1928) and found that after a very brief marriage to a Francis Rowsell, she married George Richardson in 1880 and they had 5 children. George was born in 1841 in Hastings and I was curious to know if he was related to the Richardsons of Brede. A quick search showed he was the son of Spencer (1810) and Eliza (1806) Richardson, both born in Brede. According to the IGI, Spencer was the natural son of Sarah Richardson of whom there were 2 by that name born in the 1780's. Sarah (1783) was the daughter of Robert Richardson and Sarah Muddle while the parents of Sarah (1786) were Henry Richardson and Martha Proctor. The first of 2 questions is - Which Sarah was Spencer's mum? [neither, see above] and the second is what was Eliza's (Elizabeth in some records) maiden name? They probably married shortly before their first child was born in 1832-33.
On 12 Jun 1794 when George was 28, he first married Rose PICKNELL in Brede, East Sussex, England. Born ca 1770 in Of Brede, Sussex, England. Rose died in Brede, East Sussex, England, in Dec 1795; she was 25. Buried on 28 Dec 1795 in Brede, East Sussex, England.

George RICHARDSON (Died as Infant) (~1794-1794)
On 31 Jul 1799 when George was 33, he second married Sarah HAMMOND in Goudhurst, Kent, England. Born ca 1774.

A widow before marrying George Richardson in 1799

RESEARCH NOTES
- another source lists a Sarah (no last name) born abt 1770, of Brede Sussex who married George 2 May 1781 (this exact date was used for another couple so may be a typo)... George was only about 15 in 1781 so unlikely to be accurate

- It seems possilbe that this Sarah was married 3 times, and had children with 4 partners: William Brese, George Richardson, Benjamin Noakes, and William Davis

- Sarah's first married name of Brese [she was a widow when she married George Richardson] - it may have been something else like Breeds or Breeze as the name Brese is unusual.

- A Removal Order, dated 14 January 1812 at Brede, removing an Elizabeth Brese, daughter of William Brese (Private in the Montgomery Militia) and Sarah Brese, formerly Hammond, from Brede to Goudhurst, Kent. This would appear to be a daughter of Sarah's.
Then found a marriage between Sarah Hammond and William Brees at Willingdon, Sussex on 19 September 1795. The name Brese (Brees etc) appears to be a Welsh one.
There is a baptism for an Elizabeth Brees on 21 January 1798 at Lydd, Kent, parents William Brees and Sarah which could be her. Being in the Militia would mean moving around.
I have transcripts of Goudhurst parish registers but apart from the marriage of Sarah Brese to George Richardson there in 1799 I can't find anything else for the name Brese (or anything relevant for Hammond). Also no Hammonds at Willingdon, either.
Obtaining a copy of the Removal Order doc might shed more light on why Elizabeth had to go back to Goudhurst.
It looks most likely that Spencer Richardson's mother was Sarah, widow of George. He had a half-sister Margaret Ann and named one of his children Margaret. Not conclusive of course but adds a little weight to the other evidence.

- Elizabeth Brese [Sarah’s daughter] would have been about 17 by 1812 when she was 'removed' from Brede to Goudhurst, so it's possible that she could have been pregnant and went to the Parish for support. George Richardson probably didn't leave his widow penniless upon his death according to his Will. There is a mystery though as he left his estate to Sarah, and to John Harvey, a thatcher of Goudhurst. I think he's the one at Goudhurst at the 1851 census age 80 with wife Sarah (Smith).
I wonder how he fits in?!

- Spencer Richardson baptised at Brede on 3 February 1810 was the son of Sarah Richardson, a widow, and Benjamin Noakes, so he was not a Richardson by blood.
Maintenance order Brede PAR253/34/3/10 13 Mar 1810
Contents:
Benjamin Noakes of Brede, shopkeeper; for maintenance of boy born to Sarah Richardson, widow. I'm not sure which widowed Sarah Richardson this was. There is a marriage for a Sarah Richardson, widow, at Brede 26 October 1812 marrying William Davis. Spencer's wife was Elizabeth Cook - they married at Whatlington on 1 July 1832. Spencer was 'of Hastings St Mary in the Castle'.

- I've done a bit more digging and found a Removal Order for William Davis and wife Sarah and children William (age 3) and Harriet (age 2) removing them from Brede to the nearby parish of Icklesham in early 1816. They must have come back again to Brede as the next two children were baptised there. However, a transcript of burials at Icklesham shows the burial for William Davis age 9, 'son of William and Sarah' in 1822, and then for William Davis age 43 in 1832 and for Sarah Davis, widow age 60, in 1835. So, Sarah would have been born c 1774 and William Davis c1789.

- Sussex burial index lists a Sarah Richardson, buried 15 Aug 1831 St George Brede, 52y (=> b 1779) - is it this Sarah?

George Miller/ Mary Smith - Brede
I'm researching my GGG Grandparents George Miller (1788-1821) and Mary Smith (1788-1870)who married 11 Feb 1811 in Brede Sussex England. Mary was the daughter of David Smith (1770-) and Susannah Richardson (1771-)who married 5 Feb 1788 in Brede Sussex England. They had two sons, Henry (b. 1812) and Tilden (b. 1814) before George died in Nov 1821 in Brede Sussex England. Mary had John Joseph (or Reeves?)Miller (b. 26 Jan 1826 Brede Sussex England) after George's death. John married Frances Davis (b. 14 Sep 1820 Brede Sussex England) before 1855 in England before emigrating to NSW Australia. I'm wondering if you know of these families or you can help me with any further research ideas. Thanks in advance, Elizabeth Australia

From other researchers:
- John Richardson (1773) married Sarah Bourne who [may have given] birth to Rose 2 months before she was married, but the baby was still christened Rose Richardson and she's the 3X great-grandmother of Caroline Lancaster. - this is a theory only, as the record of Rose’s baptism in Brede lists Sarah Richardson as the mother, and no father was listed, but Sarah married John just weeks after Rose was baptised.

- John was the executor of his father’s will, and was forgiven all his debts and provided for in his father’s will, but ended his days in the Hastings Workhouse.

- Mar 1851: musician, inmate age 77, in Hastings Union Workhouse, Hastings Sussex
