Biography

Richard was born about 1840.

I'm not positive, but I think that Richard was probably the illegitimate child of Mary Armitage. In the 1851 census, he was listed as the grandchild of Martha Armitage, and Mary was the only one of Martha's children old enough to be his mother. At first I thought that it was a mistake, and he was actually Martha's son, but then he's listed as Frances' nephew in the 1861 census.
