Welcome to the home page and first blog on the Richardson Burtt family history web site.
This web site is a history of James Cope Richardson and his wife Louisa Townsend Bakewell who lived in Staffordshire, England in the 1800’s. The Descendant Report for James Cope Richardson provides a listing of these people.
The idea for the website came from discussions at the 5th Richardson-Burtt Family Reunion held on June 18th, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. The reunions, started by Burtt and Gladys Richardson in 1990, have been held every five years. Our next reunion is scheduled for 2015.
Descendents of James and Louisa are encouraged to write their comments after any of the blogs, or complete the comment form below. If you have any stories, which can be published on this website or family tree updates, etc. please send them to david@richardsonburtt.org. Pictures can be either sent or placed on the Richardson Burtt Family Group site on Facebook.
As additional family history and stories are received, they will be included in the blog section of this website.
This website is currently being maintained by David Lamb, Generation 5 (son of Phyllis, grandson of Jack, great-grandson of James Richardson and Annie Burtt).
