Richard (born at Stanningley in Pudsey, 1861), went to Manchester where he had a relationship, living as husband and wife for some eighteen years with Annie ---, who was about five years his senior.

Railway Co., died (age 50) at Manchester (buried at Manchester Southern Cemetery, 23rd March 1912).

Also see later.
The family lived at Stanningley (in Leeds), variously at Church Hill Street, Coniston Mount, Church Hill Terrace/Street/Mount, Bright Street and Half Mile Lane.
James was originally a boot riveter at Scales & Sons, Grove Works, in Cemetery Road, Pudsey. In early 1901 he lost his job there after Scales’ former partners Salter & Salter opened their own factory at Pudsey in opposition. From February to November 1901 the family lived at Edmund Street, East Crompton, Lancashire, where he was a boot & shoe repairer, then returning to Stanningley. James became a labourer at various local foundries, and at the 1911 Census he said he was a yard-man at an iron foundry. He worked at various foundries, the last being Croft & Perkins until a strike in 1919 threw him out of work again. He then bought a little shoe repairing business, working at a small shop at Sunfield, Stanningley. James died (age 71, of paralysis) at St James’s Hospital, Leeds, (16th April 1940, buried at St. Thomas, 20th April 1940). Mary Ann died (age 90, of cerebral thrombosis) at St. James’s Hospital, Leeds, also (28th November 1959, buried at St. Thomas, 1st December 1959).
