Reggie, that is a terrific call. I've had a look at the original passenger list and Mrs Richardson and children Ronald, James and May (who would be Mary) travelled together, contacted to land at Sydney. The Hy Richardson was on his own and I don't think connected. All are listed as English, but otherwise it ties in perfectly to the ages order of the children. i will do some foraging on the Australian side now.

Thanks so much for taking the time, been looking for these guys for quite a while!

I think they did go to Australia, the names in this article all seem to tie up:

Hi Gins, yes I've been through the GRU Trees search for the children of Helen and James without success.

Hi Rootgatherer. Helen was shown as Married and Head of house in 1911. I guess James was working away in the mines, though can't track him on census.

I can find no trace of any of them after 1911. No marriages, deaths etc on Scotlandspeople. I am thinking that either they emigrated or that Helen maybe remarried and the children changed surname, but again no marriage to substantiate.

Was Helen widowed in 1911? As you have their marriage, you will have the names of James's parents so can check on here to see if anyone has them in their tree.

Alternately you can use Scotlandspeople to search for descendants of James and Helen.

Hi David

You could try searching 'Trees' on here. Use the 'search facility

Interested in anyone connected to James Richardson (mother's M.S. Ritchie) and Helen (or Ellen) McMillan. Helen was born in Kilmarnock in 1872 and married James, from Galston, Ayrshire in the Gordon Halls, Paisley Road, Glasgow in July 1901. James was a coal miner, Helen a confectioner's shop keeper. When first married they lived at 124 Cornwall St, Govan, Glasgow. In 1911 Helen was living at Mill Road, Dalziel, Lanarkshire, with her three children Ronald Campbell Richardson, born 1902, James Richardson, born 1904, and Mary McMillan Richardson, born 1906. Helen was my grandfather's sister.

Any help appreciated
