Richardby, Thomas, Durham, joiner and cm (1803–16). Subscribed to Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary, 1803. Notice in Durham County Advertiser, 16 March 1816 read: ‘THOMAS RICHARDBY of the City of Durham who had carried on the business of joiner, cabinet maker, builder etc. in that city & its vicinity for more than 40 years, & until within the last seven, when he declined on the prospect of other objects; but circumstances of late having turned out adverse to his expectations, he finds it necessary to resume his former occupations, of which he takes the opportunity of acquainting his friends & the public, & trusting that from his former long experience he will be able to give satisfaction to those who may please to honour him with their commands which it will be his study to do.’
