1872  -  1872

Great Uncle of  W.P. 'Bill' Richardson

William Pallister Richardson was the third child of Robert Richardson and his wife Margaret (nee Pallister)

Born in the first quarter of 1872, he was named after his maternal Grandfather. He was baptised on 18th February 1872 and his baptism was recorded in the Primitive Methodist Register for South Shields Circuit. The record shows that his Dad was a miner and the family lived at Usworth Colliery.

Sadly, like so many babies of that time, William died when he was just three weeks old.

William was buried at Holy Trinity, Usworth on 21st February 1872.
