Richard JOHNSON
Set As Default Person -
Name Richard JOHNSON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1718 - From age in burial register, assuming it was this Richard Johnson
Baptised - No likely Richard in Woodhorn Parish in the index on FMP (as at 14 Apr 2019); the most likely there would seem to be the son of George, resident Horsley, baptised in Longhorsley on 8 Oct 1721. However, Richard could be missing from the index for one reason or another, and (probably) another Richard was married in Bedlington in 1756. Need to find out more about that Richard, and the coverage of the records on FMP.
Gender Male Residence 1805 Newbeggin-by-Sea, Woodhorn, Northumberland, England
- Given as his abode in the burial register
Occupation Grindstone maker - Recorded in burial register, assuming it was the burial of this Richard Johnson
Died 4 Mar 1805 - Date from burial register
Buried 6 Mar 1805 St. Alban’s Church, Earsdon, Northumberland, England
- From the Northumberland & Durham FHS transcribed data (on FMP, viewed 13 Apr 2019)
Given this Richard's daughter was 'of Newbiggin' at the time of her marriage, but subsequently lived in Earsdon parish it seems highly probable that this burial of a Richard with a link to both places was this Richard. Although his daughter and son-in-law had predeceased him, he may have been cared for by a grandchild in his final illness, or visiting them when he died, and hence buried in Earsdon.
