A Painter. Owned an art studio on Piccadilly Square in London. Often sickly, died young (60+ does not seem particularly young, though not particularly old either) - likely from lead posioning from his paints.

Often spent time away from his shop "daydreaming". Not good about supporting the family.

Emigrated in 1879.

Surname inherited from mother. (Illegitimate child. Father unknown.)

Changed surname to Richardson when he came to America.

Mother
