| As a farmer and landowner he farmed Westfield Farm (right), Nafferton, (GR TA051 587) and, bought Houndale Farm of 1000 acres, (GR TA042597 OS Landranger 107), which was later found to have been sold under false pretences and it is said he lost £10.000 on the deal; it being proved that the vendor did not legally own it. | |

'.... In 18l3 and 1814 Richard Crompton, of Beeford, took over Great Houndales
with other plots of land and a house in Nafferton. Thomas Farthing still farmed the estate
meaning that Crompton either sub-let or had purchased from Ann Paul
(Unlikely but it is difficult to distinguish between leases and freehold conveyance
in the 19th century.)

Martha Hyde - his wife
Christened in Great Driffield on 09dec1784. By James and Sarah Hyde Married Thomas Richardson on 02dec1802 at Barmston. (Source: IGI M107092)
Their children
IGI records shows Martha to be the mother of all these children, but the forenames
of the fathers varies. However there is no doubt that these are the children of
Thomas Richardson and Martha. This baptismal evidence also shows where the family
was living at the time of their children's birth.
