Twosign or Tousine Richardson was born in about 1805, at Icklesham, near Winchelsea in Sussex[1]. In 1841 he was living with his wife Sarah in the parish of Broomhill, just east of Rye[1]. By 1861 he was a carter, they were still in Broomhill, and they had three children and two lodgers[3]. In 1881, Twosign and Sarah were living in Lydd, somewhere between the school and the High Street[5].

The name "Twosign" may have originated from the French name "Toussaint" - see link for more details.
