Family of James Case RICHARDSON (82) & Mary SERCOMBE
171. Ann Amy RICHARDSON (James Case6, Henry Proctor5, Henry4, Henry3, Henry2, Richard1). Born in 1851 in Sedlescombe, Sussex, England. Christened on 29 Feb 1852 in Brede, East Sussex, England.

- 1852: Ann Amy, daughter of James Case (policeman of Sedlescombe) & Mary Richardson, baptised in Brede, 29 Feb 1852
- 1861 census: Catsfield [Sussex, England], RG9/563, pg 13 or 122, household 67: Ann A Richardson, age 9, born Sedlescombe, Sussex.
- 1871 census: NOT living with parents in Salehurst Sussex.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- no baptism in the Sedlescombe transcript, possibly the Ann birth registered Battle district Mar q 1852.
- Sedlescombe births/baptisms NOTincluded in BIVRI.

- SEDLESCOMBE (or SELSCOMBE) is a parish, 3 miles north-east from Battle, on the river Brede, on the high road from Hastings to Hawkhurst, in Kent, in the Eastern division of the county - in the Battle registration district
- 4 births registered for Ann Richardson in Sussex, 1850-1852: 2 in Lewes, 1 in Brighton and 1 in Battle: Q1 1852, Vol 2b Page 37 None for Ann A. Ann Richardson birth registered Q1 1852, Battle, 2b 37. OR Ann registered Q3 1853, Battle 2b 37 - same page number but different images (one hand written, one typed, content not identical - 2 different babies probably). Neither matched to a mother’s surname of Sercombe.
- possible marriage: Marriages Dec 1893 [she would have been 42 if this is our Ann]

[likely not her due to age; couldn’t find Ann Richardson in England in 1881 so probably has a different last name, different location, or died???]
172. William RICHARDSON (James Case6, Henry Proctor5, Henry4, Henry3, Henry2, Richard1). Born ca 1853 in Sedlescombe, Sussex, England.

- 1861 - William - age 7 at 1861,
- 1871 - age 17 at 1871 born Sedlescombe, but no baptism in the Sedlescombe transcript, possibly the William birth reg Mar q 1853, Battle district. Described as 'afflicted' at 1871 census.
- 1871 census, Robertsbridge (Road and Town), Salehurst Parish, Sussex, living with parents:
William Richardson, son, unm, 17,, born Sussex, Sedlescombe, afflicted

George Richardson, M, English, 19, England, , Church of England

RESEARCH NOTES:
- Sedlescombe births/baptisms not included in BIVRI.
- Probably was a witness at his cousin Henry P Richardson’s wedding in 1883
- originally thought this William married an Annie Moore before 1901 [1897] and had a daughter Rhoda [born 25 Dec 1898], but this proved wrong - that William was likely married 3 times, first to a Sarah Dunlop, lastly to Annie Moore, and accoring to both marriage records was the son of a John and Margaret [Richardson] of England. - info found on ancestry.ca
- was he the William who married an Ellen, shown in 1901 census in living in St Thomas, Elgin, ON? Film shows William born in England Nov 23 1848. (likely not unless he was born out of wedlock)
