Richard Poxon

(1841 - )
1861

Richard's father William is aged 46 and working as a carter.

His mother Rececca is 39.

They are living in Darlaston Road - the number 164 may refer to the number, but was just used as a dwelling reference in those days, so exactly where they lived along that long stretch of road I cannot be sure.

Eight children are living with the family:

  • Richard - age 20 - working as a miner
  • Job - age 16 - working as a miner
  • Rebecca - age 15
  • Thomas - age 14 - working as a miner
  • Sarah J - age 8
  • William - age 6
  • Elizabeth - age 5
  • Samuel I - age 1

Betsy is not listed, but she would now be 21 and therefore may well be married.
