I am researching the Gloster family history and have come across a James Gloucester christened 29 November 1779 in Bombay, Maharashta, India. According to records of the christening in the Oriental and India British Library, James Gloucester and Thomas Bloomsbury were slaves to D Richardson.
A gravestone inscription at Newent dated 7 October 1829 remembers Thomas Bloomsbury ‘a native of Africa and for … 55 years a faithful servant to the late Samuel Richardson Esq’.
I see Samuel Richarson is listed on 211(2), 215.
I also see Anne, Harriet, Henry, Thomas on 211 and James on 215.
I would like to learn as much as p[ossible about D Richardson and Thomas Richardson mainly in order to find out more about James Gloucester.
