CHWIEDCZUK [CHWEDCHUK] / RIMMER / RICHARDS CONNECTION
Lydia Richards
-
"... 2. I was born with the name LYDIA CHWIEDCZUK on 10 July 1926 in Poland. After migrating to Canada with my parents in 1929, I began school in 1931 and since starting school I have always spelled my first name LYDIA and was known as LYDIA CHWEDCHUK. My parents and myself found that our polish name spelled CHWIEDCZUK was too difficult for Canadians to pronounce and so since coming to Canada our family anglicized the polish spelling of our family to CHWEDCHUK. This is the spelling on my Marriage Certificate.
3. On June 23, 1945 in Welland, Ontario I married the deceased Michael Richards. At that time, he was known as RichardMichael[Added in pen: Joseph] Rimmer. This is the shown on my marriage certificate. In June 1947, because of severe family difficulty and deep humiliation my husband moved to Ridgetown, Ontario to get away from his family. The friction was so great that he ceased to be known as Richard Michael Rimmer and began using the name Michael Richards. This in his mind, started his life affresh [sic]. When I joined my husband in August 1947, in Ridgetown I was known as Lydia Richards... Since August 1947, I have always used the name Lydia Richards and am now in theprocess [sic] of legally changing my name to Lydia Richards ... I have no birth certificate for my late husband and do not know exactly where he was born, except somewhere in England.
4. LIDIA CHWIEDCZUK, LYDIA CHWEDCHUK, LYDIA RIMMER, and LYDIA RICHARDS is one and the same person, and I am that person.
5. Michael Richards and Richard Michael Rimmer is one and the same person who died January 17, 1970 and to whom I have been married since 23 June 1945 ..."
