Richardson-7209 and Richardson-1232 do not represent the same person because: not the same person - different profile

I'm looking for a descendant of Elizabeth Richardson to compare mtDNA, in order to determine whether she and Charlotte Richardson were sisters. If you are a descendant of hers from an all-female line (ie your mother's mother's mother, etc) and have done a mtDNA test, or intend to, please contact me.

Richardson-9057 and Richardson-1232 appear to represent the same person because: Elizabeth Richardson, daughter of John Richardson and Mary Flintoff, married Gabriel Purdy. Note that Gabriel and Elizabeth have children named John Richardson Purdy and Samuel Flintif (Flintoff?) Purdy.
