Cornwall / Re: Missing Richards Family from Illogan
« on: Thursday 03 February 22 16:51 GMT (UK)  »
Here is the information you are looking for.
Samuel Richards 1836-1869 and Priscilla Richards 1832 - 1906.  They had 4 children.
Son Samuel Charles(married Mary with twin daughters Elsie and Maud), Priscilla Jane( Married Henry Robinson), Augusta E Richards and Thomas Hawkins Richards.

Samuel Richards died in St Austell, Cornwall aged 33 in 1869. He was buried in St Austell 7th April 1869. 
Daughter, Priscilla Jane Richards married in 1887, St Pancras London to William Henry Robinson (1854-1923) William Robinson and his brothers James Alcock Robinson and Arthur Arkinsall Robinson created the Arcadian pottery in Stoke on Trent and later Royal Crown Derby in Stoke on Trent.  J+A & Sons Ltd and Arkinstall & Sons.

The Census shows Priscilla Richards stayed in Cornwall in 1871, but had later moved to Islington in 1891.
 
It was a challenge to work out this next stage in the 1891 Census, but in the end I did it.

Priscilla had moved to Islington long after her husband Samuel died. Her son Thomas William Hawking Richards also resided in Islington as well as his sister Priscilla Jane Robinson's son Arnold Robinson who was also Priscilla Richards Grandson.  I do not know who was Edith, but Herbert Richard Stanley was my Great Grandfather. He was also Priscilla Jane's Son but he was born before she was married.  Herbert was sent to live as a young child in Wales with a mining family under the surname of Stanley although he still retailed Richard as his middle name.  My Grandfather was an illegitimate child but still had the connections with the Robinson and Richards family.  Hence all the charming family photos on both sides in the family album. 
Daughter Priscilla Jane and Henry Robinson together had 4 children.  Samuel Arnold, Douglas Harry, Gwendolen Jenny and Norman Richards Robinson.
They were a successful and affluent family for many years in the manufacturing and trade of porcelain and pottery. 

Priscilla(Grandmother) then moved from London to Staffordshire to live with her daughter and family until Priscilla died in Stone Staffordshire in 1906.  Her daughter Priscilla Jane also died in Stone, Staffs in 1925.
All this family tree info and photos is on Ancestry.
