Several Public Trees on ancestry have Richard's birth as in Strood, Kent

Death posted by malyon - from the GRO index - showing age

WADHAMS, RICHARD 82

Can't at the moment see him in 1841

Just a possibility - in Elham Union workhouse.
However, Elham isn't in North Aylesford reg district, so maybe not:

Thank you for your reply i have had no success in finding out where Richard was born or anything on his Parents. but i was informed a while ago that he may have come over from Ireland and also i have just had my DNA done and it came back that i was 21% Irish which would fit in with that scenario as i know that no other Ancestors came from Ireland. Richard was my G.G.G.G. Grandfather. Regards Edwin.
