Notes

Marriage

The informant at the registration of the death of William Richardson was Elizabeth Richardson, living at the same address (40 Fleet Street, Belfast). In his will, William left most of his property and possessions to "my dear wife Elizabeth Richardson"; she was also one of the executors of his estate. It's possible that they were married in Ireland, England or Scotland, or further afield.
