Hi - I'm researching my ggggrandfather George Richardson. He was born approx 1790 in Ireland(possibly) and died in 1878 in Sydney, Nova Scotia.He married Elizabeth Corcoran in 1810 in Ireland, daughter of John and Ann Corcoran.We know very little about George Richardson other than he supposedly attended Dublin University and married around the same time - 1805 or 1806. George and his wife had several children in Ireland before moving to Nova Scotia - including John Alfred Richardson born 1812; Samuel Richardson born 1815 in Belfast; Elizabeth Richardson burn April 21,1817 in Ireland.When he came to Canada, he eventually landed in the Halifax area and began his work as a Baptist minister - settling up churches and preaching throughout that area and eventually to Sydney in Cape Breton where he died in 1878. Would love to find that someone out there knows something about George's family or his wife Ann's family.
