Note on Husband: George Pickering RICHARDS - shared note

The GP Richards Family Tree reads: "George Pickering Richards Esq. I[encumbered] Estates Court" "Frances Richards da. of Edwards Richards of Glynn House." George and Frances were second cousins GPR was Second Secretary in the office of the Secretary to the Commission for Sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland and a candidate for the office of Petty Sessions Clerk for the Gorey district. A formal typeset list of recommendation statements from various individuals is part ot the family's Richards material. We would like to believe that he won the applied for office of Clerk. Presumably he did since the letters of recommendation survived; whereas if he had lost, everyone would have preferred to forget the matter. I am convinced that George Pickering Richards is the author of the Family Tree documents on which much of the material is based. The material belongs to my Aunt Francis Lee-Dean (1894-1988) whose great grand mother was Anne Richards (1804-1881) from Ardamine Co. Wexford who married William Bolton of Clasheen in 1831. Anne Richards was the daughter of Edward Richards and Mary Hill of Glynn House. George Pickering Richards' wife Frances was Anne's sister. I believe it passes from Anne to her daughter Martha Bolton and hence to her son Loftus Tackaberry (Martha's second husband) who carried it to America. After his death it was given to his niece Martha Francis Lee-Dean. It then passed to Martha Frances' nephew Byron Edwards. The family tree documents exist in two nearly identical versions. The older version consists of four sheets -- the two right sheets are pasted together, the next sheet to the left has become separated with some damage along the edges. The next and final sheet to the left is missing. This material contains penciled in comments one of which is signed "GPR." The writing is masculine and very formal -- fancy capital letters for example. The penciled comments are less formal, but I believe by the same hand. The second version is a copy of the first. The handwriting is different -- perhaps more feminine. In it the penciled in comments are copied over in ink with no distinction made as to their origin. It has also has a penciled in comment "My Father's Uncle GPR." The "GPR" letters are run together like a signature, not like an identification as G.P.R. Byron Edwards Dec 10, 2003.

The Richards Family Tree (The GPR Family Tree) was very likely prepared by George Pickering Richards in 1858. It exists in two nearly identical versions. Copies or perhaps the originals (both initialled in pencil GPR as a signature) likely belonged.
