Born at Worthington, baptised at Coleorton 21 Jul 1816. Married 4 Nov 1833 at Breedon to Joseph Richards. Children: William (b1835); John (b1837), Thomas (b1839), Mary (b1840), Sarah (b1843), Lydia (b1848), Hannah (b1850), Elizabeth (b1851), Joseph (b1853), Benjamin (b1858) There is a Sarah Johnson living with them in 1851, who is the "mother-in-law" of Joseph Richards, so Lydia's mother. This causes a conflict with a separate census return for Sarah (Wardle) Johnson in Whitwick. Most likely Sarah was registered at both places. Lived all her life at Gelsmoor. Died 2 Jul 1889 at Gelsmoor.
