Hi Dereck, do you have any further information on what happened to Richard William? I know he was living with his Grandparents in 1871. I can not find him in the 1881 census. I thought i had found him in 1890 he was married Sara Ann Clements in Liverpool, but when I received the marriage certificate Richards Father was down as Wiliam Clucas Deceased. I then found him? in the 1901 census as a lodger living with Amelia Hawkins at 155 Mill Road Liverpool. They had a daughter in 1901 Mona who was my maternal Grandmother. Richard William in both cases had the trade of Timber labourer. So do you think I am barking up the wrong tree! With Richard Wiliam??
