Well, I'm back, sorta. Yes, I have been researching and loading up my data base, but, some of the searches have been LONG drawn out affairs and the input even more so.
This continues a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors. This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report. It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.

I located her Find A Grave memorial, # 38231020, which led me to a memorial for her infant daughter, # 111205348. Ella's memorial has a photo of a marker, the infant does not.
I have not located any obituary or death notice for Ella.
The family tree I located named the infant as Geraldine. A review of the Florida death index turned up one possible, as follows, note has the name of a father, but, is for a female:

Nothing more has been discovered about her husband, James Watson Richardson as of August 2022. Family tree at Ancestry dot com indicates his name was Watson.
* Disclaimers, I use Find A Grave, Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, several newspaper subscriptions, free sites, such as Virginia Chronicles, Virginia Chancery Cases online at the Library of Virginia and more to research my ancestors. I pay for subscriptions, full price.
** My judgements may or may not be correct. Transcriptions may or may not have errors.
*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink. Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs. As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed. If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.
