Great Great Aunt of  W.P. 
                        'Bill' Richardson
                          
                        Eleanor was the seventh child of Thomas Richardson 
                        and his wife Mary (nee Robinson), she was born in South 
                        Shields in the second quarter of 1844. 
                         
                        The 1851 census recorded her in the family home in 
                        Usworth Colliery aged 7, living with her father Thomas 
                        who was a 44 year old Brickmaker and her mother Mary who 
                        was 42.  
                        As well as Eleanor, there were six other Richardson 
                        children in the house, ranging in age from 20 years down 
                        to 17 months. 
                         
                        For the moment, that is all the information I can find 
                        for Eleanor, she didn't appear on any of the later 
                        census returns for the family and I haven't yet been 
                        able to track her down elsewhere.
