RESEARCH NOTES:
- no baptisms yet indexed on freeREG for Cranbrook Kent (2015)

- couldn’t find any obvious death registrations. Some possibilities:
Mary J Lewis abt 1853 Jan-Feb-Mar 1919 Steyning Sussex
Mary J Lewis abt 1854 Oct-Nov-Dec 1925 Chelsea London
Mary J Lewis abt 1855 Oct-Nov-Dec 1924 Tendring Essex
Mary J Lewis abt 1855 Jul-Aug-Sep 1939 Lambeth Greater London
Mary J Lewis abt 1856 Oct-Nov-Dec 1920 Wandsworth London

- many possible probates for this common name in the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1861-1941 - but none in Derby. Both Mary Jane and Lewis were both alive in 1911. Mary Jane did not inherit in her husband’s will, 1923, so perhaps she died before him?
In Q1 1880 when Mary Jane* was 26, she married Frederick LEWIS in St Faiths District, Norfolk, England. Born in 1852 in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. Frederick died in Derbyshire, England, on 28 Mar 1923; he was 71. Occupation: Nurseryman.

- Frederick was born in Loughborough, Leicestershire in 1852.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- As no children were listed with them in 1901, they probably didn’t have any children.
- regarding place of birth, some census says Weston, Kent!, and another says Weston Longville, Norfolk, and another says ... Agnes’ parents and family seems on the move at this time - older siblings were born in Cranbrook Kent, younger children starting with Agnes were born in Weston Longville Norflk, where the family lived in the 1861 census (Agnes was 8 months old). Fanny, born just before in 1857 may have been born in Glastonbury, Kent (about 170 miles west of Cranbrook Kent) according to 1881 census.
- can’t find in 1911 census
In Q4 1893 when Agnes was 33, she married Henry Birchall “Harry” CLAYSON in Derby, Derbyshire, England. Born in Q1 1859 in Camberwell, London, England. Henry Birchall “Harry” died in Paddington, London, England, in 1943; he was 83.

Buried in Apr 1951 in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, PEI, Canada. Occupation: Farmer, Cheese Maker.

- From family stories: Moved from England to Ontario Canada in 1880 [1881 or 1882*] as a teenager, he learned the cheese-making business there before moving to PEI in 1882 [probably 1883 **]. He bought his house in St. Eleanor's from Jacob Howatt. The house was then situated on the south-east corner of the school playgrounds - it has now been moved to Glenn Drive.
[Sydney probably joined other Richardson relatives who had previously immigrated to Ontario perhaps as early as the 1850s, and some had taken up the cheese making trade. See notes under his uncle Edmund Richardson about theories of Richardson migration. See also: http://boormanfamily.weebly.com/1/post/2013/06/richardson-migration.html]

- Sydney was a cheese-maker and started the first Cheese Factory in PEI on Lot 16 Road near North Drive in St Eleanors. Sydney gained the knickname of “Cheesy”
As published in “Sketches of Old St Eleanors”: “The first cheese factory in PEI was built in St Eleanors on the Lot 16 Road near Walter Arsenault’s, North Drive. The cheese-make Sydney Richardson was born in Norfolk, England, 1862. He came to Canada in 1880*, learning the cheese making business in Ontario, coming to PEI in 1882** became the first cheesemaker on the Island. Mr. Richardson married Isabella Compton of St. Eleanors, lived in St Eleanors until his death in 1951. His house was situated on the south east corner of the school playgrounds. (A Jacob Howatt lived in this house before Sydney R.). It was moved and now [1973] is located on Glenn Dr.”

- * When trying to substantiate Sydney's immigration, I found him still in England in 1881, living with his parents in Weston Longville, Norfolk.  The most promising passenger list I've found contained the following entry on ancestry.com:
"Sydney Richards   Male   [age:] 17   [Date of Arrival:] 21 Aug 1882   [vessel:] Thames   [port(s) of arrival:] Halifax, Nova Scotia; Montreal, Quebec   [departed from:] London, England   [Roll:] C-4532 - film says destined for Montreal."

- ** 1883 Feb 27 - Charles Andrew, on behalf of the St Eleanors Farmers Club, sent a letter to Samuel Wood at Newtonville, Ontario. In the letter to Mr. Wood, Mr. Andrew asks that he (Samuel) take the letter about the cheese factory to “some factory that you know”. The letter was fowarded to John Waddell in Orono, Ontario, who replied. [This is likely what prompted Sydney to move to PEI, but I’ve been unable to find out further details beyond what was in this letter. Note that the Charles Andrew was the ancestor of Harry Charles Andrew who later married Sydney’s youngest daughter Eleanor.]

- From the PEI archives fond Acc4369 “St. Eleanor's Cheese Manufacturing Company fonds”:
“St. Eleanor's boasted one of the earliest cheese factories on Prince Edward Island. Unfortunately there is little documentation of this enterprise. The company was established by statute in 1883 (Cap. 21) and the factory was built on the Lot 16 Road. The first cheese-maker at St. Eleanor's was Sydney Richardson who received a bronze medal in 1886 for the best exhibit of cheese in the British Empire. The factory was still in operation in 1903 according to an entry in the report of the Dairy Association for that year.”

- 1885 marriage to Ella Compton. Their son Melbourne was born in 1886:
-From Mel’s memoirs: “I was born Apr 6 1886. Eldest of 5 children... I was born in a cottage owned by the Darby family across the road from their farm. My father had small cheese factory, supplied with milk from the farmers surround it with delivery routes about 5 or 6 miles in several directions around the factory. The routes picked up milk & returned whey to those who could use it, a food for pig feed mixed with crushed grain also chickens, etc. After a couple of years or so, father bought a small farm 25 acres, a good house about 7 rooms, 2 stories. A good barn suitable for 3 cows, 3 horses and mows for hay for long winters. ”

-1886 Sydney received a bronze medal for the best exhibit of his cheese in the British Empire cheese competition - from “A Historic View of St. Eleanor’s 1747-1995”. Also in Sketches of Old St Eleanors, 1973, pg 34: “In 1886 he received a bronze medal for the best exhibit of his cheese in the British Empire. This medal, now [1973] in Edwin Bernard’s possession, shows that Edward Albert, Prince of Wales, was president of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, London, England. The old cheese dry house is now [1973] on the farm of Ralph Riley used as a machine shop. Hogs were kept in an enclosure at the back of the factory to feed on the surplus whey.”

STORIES
From his granddaughter Harriet Anddrew:
“Sydney was quite the cook. He loved to fish and hunt rabbits and wild birds. Many the bird, wild duck or goose that he gave to his daughter Nell’s family when the children were young had to not only be plucked etc. but when they ate the bird they had to watch out for buck shot, as those hunters were really generous with their ammunition! His granddaughter remembers being invited to stay for lunch one time and the stew bubbling away on the stove smelled delicious, like chicken in fact. They enjoyed it immensely and after lunch Sydney got a big kick out of watching their faces when he hold them that it had been RABBIT stew!”

Memories of Joyce (Mills) Rutherford:
- “Sidney Richardson used to live by the school house and [gave] me shit when I was a kid and getting into trouble. We used to tease him when he was an old man, we would jump his fence to get the ball when we were kids and he would chase us off.
- “The house he used to live in on what's now known as "south drive" has been relocated... by my Aunt Angie Bulger. It's now on Glen Drive in Summerside... we can send you a picture of the house if you like... … his house was next to St Eleanor's school. The house Angie Bulger (Costain) moved was Cheesy's and they moved it in the 60's or 70's”
- “The lady we know as Aunt "Ella" was bedridden when I was a child and we used to get dressed up nice and do our hair so we could go visit her. She was grandpa's sister and just a tiny little thing and we didn't understand....
Lillas Costain [step mother to Joyce (Mills) Rutledge] was the one who insisted they visit Leopold and his sister [Ella (Compton) Richardson] who had the stroke. They were so little they were afaid of her because she couldn't get out of bed.”

Grandma was a great horse woman, and so was my mother [Nell], she used to ride side-saddle in Horse Shows when she was young in the town of Summerside, 2 miles to the south. Grandma’s father was George Compton, and [her mother was Eliza Pring Compton, whose grand-] father was Col. Harry Compton who had served his King and Country well and the reigning King at that time reward him by giving him a grant of land in PEI, a lot of land I’ve been told, which he shared with family and friends, and where a large number of Compton’s lived for a lot of years, there are very few of them, if any still living around there. They probably moved away to greener pastures.... “
- Grandma R. worked during her early married life as a Midwife, so she was away a lot when my mother [Nell] was young, so Sydney was quite a cook.

RESEARCH NOTES:
Are any of these the right Lewis James Richardson?
- 1891 census: A James Richardson, age 26 (abt 1865), born in Lewis [!], Sussex, England, a soldier in South Shoebury, Shoeburyness, Essex, England, at a School of Gunnery, Great Wakering, Rochford Registration District
- 1901 - couldn’t find him in 1901 UK census. - Should check in miliary overseas...many, many with similar names but no exact match
- no exact match in England marriage index (freeBMD)
- NOTE: A James Richardson. born Westacre Norfolk, was 27 in 1891 (b 1864), living with wife Elizabeth (30) and son Fred’k Jas. Richardson (1) in Ashill Norfolk - he is NOT A MATCH as also found in 1871 census living in Westacre Norfolk, age 7, with parents William (47) and Rachel (40) Richardson.
- NOTE: a James Lewis Richardson died Q4 1870, Norwich, Norfolk, born ~1860 (age 10). Vol 4b, pg 83 NOT A MATCH - age is 4 years out (usually more accurate for a child) and our Lewis was still alive at age 17 in 1881.
- Can’t find his death in England under Lewis J, James L, Louis J

- There was a James Lewis Richardson died Dec 1870, age 10 Norwich RD - not a match

From family sources:
- His name once said to be George [perhaps confusing the generations] - if so may have had 2 children?
- “Lewis James, he married a widow with 2 children, I don't think he had any children of his own. He lived in Kansas City and he was the one that... had a tutor that brought him out to Kansas”. - This may be confused with Lewis Richard Richardson in the next generation???
