He made fancy pen and pocket knives at Dacre Street/Bernard Lane. He was living in Carlisle Street in 1871; and was a boarder in Portand Street a decade later. John Richardson, spring knife cutler, died at Portland Street and was buried at Burngrave Cemetery on 18 July 1890, aged 67. His wife, Eliza, had died in 1876 (aged 48) and was buried in the same cemetery.
