    An obituary records that he came to Dunedin "at an early age" and was educated at the "Old Stone School" ... "while still a lad joined the Naval Cadets at Oamaru" ... maintaining a keen interest "in the volunteering movement" being a petty officer in the Oamaru Navals, and forming the first volunteer company in Owaka when he moved there in 1891, becoming its captain, "retaining that rank until he moved to Dunedin in 1910" where he was interested in the National Reserve, accompanying the Relief Force to Samoa. It also records that he was interested in all athletic sports and was a champion vaulter and a prominent runner (the cutting I was sent a scan of is incomplete, I'll see what else I can find).13,14,15,16
  • LetterFull: Andrew William Alexander Richardson was mentioned in the letter Catherine Sutherland Richardson sent to Bessie White on 19 Feb 1961 from 230 Macandrew St, Dunedin, OTG, NZ, as Tish's father, when his father (James Russell R (1826-1902)) gave the snuff box to "Chubb" (Robert Leslie aka John aka Chubb) when he was about 70 (therefore around 1896).17
  • Burial*: Andrew William Alexander Richardson was buried with Elizabeth Richardson in Blk 28 Plot 21, Andersons Bay Cem., Dunedin, OTG, NZ,
         H/stone 1: ILMO Thomas Reginald bel h/o Annie Richardson d 14 Jan 1925 aged 34 Also Andrew William Alexander Richardson d 30 Dec 1936 aged 74 yrs also Elizabeth Richardson d 9 Sep 1947 aged 84 yrs
         H/stone 2: James Russell Richardson d 11 Dec 1950; Jane Ivy Bonar d 13 Nov 1955 Elizabeth I (Nean) Richardson d 23 Nov 1955
         H/stone 3: C S (Tish) Richardson d 11 Jul 1962
         In a separate plot in the same cemetery (I've no idea how close) are two more sons and their wives (Charles Edward and Frances May nee Davidson and Robert Ernest and Harriet nee Sinclair) At least I am assuming they are sons, as Robert Ernest shows up on the WWI reserves living at the same Forth St address as Thomas Reginald and he wouldn't be buried in the same plot as a complete stranger with the same surname would he? Their birth dates and places "fit". All of which theory is confirmed in AWA's army record.7,18
