Additional Information

Richard is variously described, on baptism entries for his children, as a Shoemaker, a Sawyer, and a Labourer. He married twice, firstly to Hannah SIMPSON on 4 Apr 1815, by licence at MS (the licence was required because he described himself as "of Tadley"). One of the witnesses to this marriage was Christopher, although whether his father or his younger brother is not clear. He and Hannah lived for a time in Tadley and had at least one child, Elizabeth, in 1815. Again, a number of gaps in the Tadley Burial Registers between 1817 and 1820 make it difficult to find exactly when Hannah died, but it must have been before the end of 1819, as Richard was described as a Widower when he married again, this time Mary BYE, on 16 Jan 1820 at MS. Together, he and Mary had a further seven children.

At the time of the 1841 census they are listed under West Heath Tadley. In the 1851 Census they were living at Baughurst in the same house as Dinah, her husband David Smith, and her children Jane and George born prior to her marriage. Only George and Rachel were still with Richard and Mary. Richard died in 1854, aged 70, and was buried at Tadley on 21 Sep 1854. In 1861, it was just Mary and George living together; in 1871, George was head of household, and mother Mary was living with him, at The Firs, Tadley. In 1881, George was alone.
