I am having a hard time tracing him. The only reference I have is on his sons marriage certificate. He gave his occupation as Haulierat that time and I found him on the1871 census on which his wife is Dinah but it also shows 2 stepchildren so it would appear that Dinah was his 2nd wife. I cannot find any marriages for him in records and nothing in births that fits. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Richard's first marriage would have been before registration started.....as, of course, was his birth

Parish records would be the only place to find the info, for the marriage, and his baptism.

The cert for his second marriage would tell you the name and occupation of his father........

This may seem stupid, but I think this is Dinah in 1851.

Name: Dinah Davis
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1823
Relation: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Whittington, Gloucestershire, England

Civil Parish: Whittington

Dinah Davis 28


The two Berry boys are her brothers.......she is unmarried. And the family immediately before this family on the census page is named Davis.

Dinah's name is the last one on the page, and I'm convinced the enumerator made an error when transcribing from the notes to the census sheet.......

The 'boys' in 1841
