Biography

John was born about 1892. He was the youngest child born to Edwin Riche and Susan Thake. [1]

Edwin and Susan had ten children. He lived with his parents and older siblings. [2][3]Here is a list of all of Edwin and Susan's children.

  2. Henry Charles Riche 1875

  9. Emily Riche 1890
  10. John Albert Riche 1892

Edwin and Susan had only one child, Emily, who died in infancy. [4]

As John's older siblings were growing up, there was a time when some of the older siblings wed and had children of their own. His eldest sister, Prudence Jane, married Albert Cooper in 1899. [5] Prudence Jane and Albert eventually had six children over the next decade. [6]

Within the year, his older brother, George Leopold, married Harriett Dobson in 1911.[7]They had a child, George Edwin William who arrived in the following year. [8]George's family grew in 1913 with the birth of Henry King Riche, named for their Uncle, and their father's youngest brother, who died in 1899. [9]

John Albert Riche married Elsie Jones in 1913[10] in the years leading up to the war. John used the name James[11] instead of John on the wedding license. [12]Edwin was listed on the license as well, as a cartage foreman, while "James" was listed as a carriage cleaner.

As an aside, John may have been known informally as 'James' by family as seen on brother Frederic's War Records. James is listed in a handwritten notation, as a younger brother to Frederic. [13]

John and Elsie had a baby boy, named James John Albert.[14] He was born on 16 Jan 1914 and baptised at St. Stephen, Bow, London, England on 22 Feb 1914. [15][16]

John served in World War I. John Albert signed up to serve on 14 Aug 1915 with the Royal Field Artillery as a gunner. John served in various regiments of the Royal Field Artillery throughout the war.[17][18][19]

John had served in England before going to India, where he developed Malaria. He was sent home to recover in hospital. He did serve, in Malta and for a limited time in England before being discharged in July 1917, for being medically unfit. He had Tuberculosis [20]Included in his war records is the use of his chosen name James on certain war sheets. [21]

After the war, John's older sister died in 1919. [22]

John's father, Edwin William Riche, died in 1927 in Cambridge, England. [23]

He passed away about 1936. [24]

John was buried 2 Oct 1936 in the City of London and Tower Hamlets, with his mother and older brother Frederic who also served in WWI and died of Tuberculosis. [25]

His wife, Elsie was also buried here in 1983. Their son James died in 1984. There is no mention of his having a family, at this time.
