Son
of W.P. 'Bill' Richardson's Great Great Uncle,
John Howey
John George was
born on 30th July 1878. He was the son of John Howey and his
wife Eleanor (nee Bell) and his birth was registered in
the Tynemouth Registration District. He
was baptised at Christ Church, Tynemouth on 1st
September 1878. The entry in the baptism register shows
that the family lived at Bedford Street and that John's
Dad worked as a labourer. At
the time of the 1881 census, he was 2 years old. The
family were recorded at West Percy St., Tynemouth. Dad,
John was 38 and worked as a labourer, Mam. Eleanor was
39. John had a brother, Joseph (3), and four
sisters : Annie Mary (10), Esther (7), Sarah Jane (5)
and Louisa (11months). John's brother,
Joseph, died in 1884, aged 6. The 1891
census showed that the family were at Bedford St.,
Tynemouth. John George was 12 and listed as a scholar,
the other children listed were : Esther (17), Sarah (15)
and Louisa (10). Their Mam, Eleanor, was 49 and their
Dad, John, was 48 - he worked as a furnaceman.
So far, I have been unable to find a definite record of
John George after the 1891 census. |
