Trying to find Richards

Am trying to build the maternal side of my family tree and can get no further than my great-grandfather Jonathan Andrew Richards. A long shot with such a common name. All the info I have so far is that he was born c1875 in St Breock, Cornwall, was an Agricultural Labourer and married to Mary Ann Cole b c 1876 from St Kew Cornwall. They had 7 children: Annie b c1891, Rozetta, Hilda (died aged 7), William, Ruth, Jack and my grandmother Sylvia b 29/01/1894 d 29/04/1970. Annie married Fred Spry, Rozetta (Zet) m Harry Wills, Sylvia m Frederick Heller, William m Charlotte Wills, Ruth m Fred Bennett, and Jack m Gladys Keat. If anyone can help me get any further it would be fantastic. I found him on the 1891 census but he doesn't seem to be on the 1881 census for some reason. You were all so helpful when I was trying to find info on my paternal grandmother, thought I'd try you again. Thanks in advance. Wendy
