Richard Richardson (British politician)
Richard Richardson (c. 1664 – 31 December 1714) was an English judge and Member of Parliament.[1]
He was the son of John Richardson of St. Bartholomew Exchange, London and Little Grove, East Barnet, Hertfordshire and educated in the law at the Middle Temple, where he was called to the bar in 1686. He became a Serjeant-at-law in 1705 and a judge of Sheriffs’ Courts, London by 1707, probably for life.

He married, in 1691, Sarah, probably the daughter of George Solme of Gillingham, Dorset and had 1 son and 1 daughter.
