Sarah Ann Richards, infant born 1825 died 18/12/1840 aged 15
Stamford Mercury - Friday Dec 25th.
18th December aged 15 SARAH ANN daughter of Mr Wm Richards shoemaker of North St Road(being the fourth of his children to die in 7 months).

Sarah Ann (Richards) Baines, Free Settler "Blonde" 1849 was born c1841 (Aged 8 in 1849 emigration)

So Sarah Louise Richards born 1832 cannot be their children

Emma Richards born 1834 in Barrow Soar

Was not in in the 1841 England census nor in the 1849 Emigration

There is a Emma RICHARDS born 1834 Barrow Soar living with her parents William RICHARDS and Sarah RICHARDS in England in the 1851 census (a different family than this William and Sarah)

John H Richards born 1834 Srourbridge
James Richards born 1845 Wollaston
Clara M Richards born 1850 Wollaston

None of these were in the 1841 England census not in the 1849 emigration

There is an 1861 England census
Head William H Richards 56
Wife Sarah Richards 54
Son John H Richards 27 - born 1834 Stourbridge
Son James Richards 16 - born 1845 Wollaston
Daughter Clara M Richards 11 - born 1850 Wallaston

This is a different family than this William and Sarah

Mary Ann Richards born 1842 England - did not emigrate with William and Sarah in 1849

Ann Richards - when and where was she born

John Richards born 1844 England - did not emigrate with William and Sarah in 1849
