Hi Angela,

Had a quick look at this and my guess is this is your Richard.The other Richard married a Mary Ann who he was with in 1871 census and still in 1901 census with her when your Richard was with Sarah.Hope that helps a bit.

I am trying to find out any information on Richard, born in Leigh Lancs in 1846. My problem is there were two richards born in same year and same place, and i 'm not sure which is mine.

I think he spent most of his life in Lancs, but then moved to Lockwood, Huddersfield, although not sure why. He then lived with Sarah Bennett and had 4 girls, before dying there in 1907.

Can anyone help?
Angie
