Notes – Eliza was born to Robert and Isabell (nee McEley or McCully) Leader in 1865 at Rylstone, NSW. She had a large family with Alfred, Mary, Ruth, Rose, William, Alice and Eva all her siblings.

She married Robert William Richardson at Coonabarabran in 1887. They had a large family too. From the first born Robert being born in 1888, Harold, George, Minnie, Evelyn, Arthur and the last Ivy born in 1905.

Her census records are all in NSW including 1930 & 1936 at Baradine, NSW with Harold who was a store keeper, Ivy cashier and Ruby home duty.

I don’t know why she was in Tara when she died. I guess visiting family or friends, but I don’t know who. She lived to a very decent age. Eliza has a headstone that reads – In Loving memory of Eliza Richardson. Died 7th October, 1950. Aged 84 years. Born 5th November, 1865.
