I'm trying to find information on a Frederick RICHARDSON born in August 1904 in South Shields. His birth certificate says he was born at 20 Robert Street South Shields and that his mother was Isabella RICHARDSON. There was no mention of a father. He was raised by a family we think were called the GRIGGS but are unsure. They must have known his mother as he kept his last name. My mother-in-law Audrey(Fredericks daughter) was always told that her height must have come from the LANGLEYS which I'm assuming are related to his mother maybe. I have his marriage and death certificate's but they are of no help and mention nothing.I have checked both the 1901 and 1911 census' but with no luck. I would appreciate any help with this search. Thankyou, Danielle.
