Recorder's Notes	Richard was born in Boxford and was a Farmer. His first farm in the area of Welford was 170 acres. In 1871 he is recorded as also being a brickmaker, employing 9 men in that as well as 6 on the farm. By 1881 he and wife Emma are farming 300 acres employ 9 men at New House, Westbrook Farm, Westbrook, Boxford. When he dies they are living at Hill House, Westbrook. There is uncertainty around his marriages. He appears to have married Abigail Bricket in 1846 but is recorded as unmarried (1851) & a widower (1861). He is married to Emma Louisa Newtown in the 1871 census but it is uncertain whether she is the mother of his daughter Eliza Maud Mary as Emma is recorded as marrying a John Farmer in Newbury in 1864, the year of Eliza's birth. Eliza's surname is wrongly spelt in the NRC Burial Reg as Matthews. Eliza was brought from Boxford to NRC & buried on 4 Dec 1865 so probably died a few days before. Emma was born to a Road Surveyor of Belvedere Villa, Newtown Rd, Newbury. A year after Richard died, she married Kintbury Surgeon, John Lidderdale, and died a wealthy widow in 1920.
