Daughter of  
                        W.P. 'Bill' Richardson's Great Uncle, 
                        James Howey
                          Annie was born on 
                        26th July 1915, she was the third child and only 
                        daughter of James Howey and his wife Annie (nee Hodgson).
                         
                        She was born at 25, Front Street, Usworth and her 
                        father, who was a coal miner, registered her birth. She 
                        had an older brother, Thomas who was about ten when she 
                        was born. Sadly, Annie's Mam, also called 
                        Annie, died about a month after the birth. 
                        Annie's father re-married in 1917, Annie's step Mam was 
                        Sarah J (nee Pigg). For the moment, that 
                        is all the information I have for Annie.  |
