This man is a Joiner.

Name: Thomas Richardson
Arrival Date: 9 Apr 1888
Birth Date: abt 1864
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Place of Origin: Edmbro, Ireland
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Destination: New York
Port of Arrival: New York
Port Arrival State: New York
Port Arrival Country: United States
Ship Name: Etruria

1881 census is the right one

Not sure about the passenger
Place of Origin is it Edinburgh if so where does the Ireland come into it?
Age fits

I wondered if "Edmbro" was a mistranscription of Edinburgh? The ship may have taken on passengers in Liverpool and Queenstown and he may have boarded in Ireland?

Not finding him on any US census records though.

Yes I thought that about the spelling

Thank you for looking

This is a possibility: I am certian that this is the man on the 1889 ship

Thank you Ann

Just been trying to do his siblings and came across a census that instead of Edinburgh had Edmboro

So I was just going to put a reply to rootgather

On ancestry it's just given me 1930 for a Frederick T Richardson b 1894 ??

looking at the census it would appear the US are the same as ours for ages/names

It does look as though you have found him

Thank you

Thomas and Anna had 4 children listed on FS.
3 male and 1 female. Something isn't right
How can they have a male child on 20 Oct 1892 and the next on 15 Apr 1893.
That's only 6months difference.
I think one is a still birth!

At 1900, Anna said she had 3 children born living and all still living?
Any stillborn children would not be included

EDIT:
A search of New Jersey deaths confirms that 20 Oct 1893 ??? is a death date of a male child aged 0yrs

OK here goes.
FS seem to have some wonky birth dates.
1940 census confirms that son Andrew was a School Janitor working for the Board of Education.
According to his 1942 WW2 draft he was working for the Board of Education
