Belgravia, Aug. 17. 1850. _Richardson Family._--Can of your correspondents inform me who "Mr. John Richardson, of the Market Place, Leeds," was? he was living 1681 to 1700 and after, and he made entries of the births of eleven children on the leaves of an old book, and also an entry of the death of his wife, named Lydea, who died 20th December, 1700. These entries are now in possession of one of his daughters' descendants, who is desirous to know {231} of what family Mr. Richardson was, who he married, and what was his profession or business.
