A copy of Richards marriage cert will confirm his fathers name

Also this could be Richard Marriage two possible Brides

BMD Marriage Richard Manual Meredith  Dec qtr 1892 Newtown 11b 346

think the Manuel may be an error because one of the brides is
Mary Manuel  and the other possible is Sara Ann Pike
