| Notes |
- Like his two older brothers, boy soldier Richard joined the 10th Regiment at age 14 in 1845, moving up the ranks to Sergeant by 1864. He was appointed drum major in 1865 and instructor of musketry four years later. Discharged to pension in 1871, Richard had seen the majority of his 21 years' service abroad including over 13 years in India, three and a half years in South Africa and three years in Japan, and was awarded several good conduct badges and campaign medals.
After his military retirement, Richard was employed as a school board officer in Salford, Lancashire, England. He died there in 1888, age 57; his youngest child was then only four years old. Elizabeth outlived her husband by nearly 30 years, passing away in Salford in 1917.
