No it's not going to be straightforward to follow him through Annie, the only marriage I see for John E Richards in the right place isn't until 1929 to an Eva Rosney, West Derby Register Office or Registrar attended so it could have been an RC marriage, but there could easily be others and not knowing which year.  Wish they had a more unique surname like the Creases and Dobells.

I have Charles on the CWGC site ........

Charles Walter Richards 2nd Lieutenant The King's (Liverpool Regiment) 1st/8th Bn. Age 20
Date of Death:   27/09/1916  Pier and Face 1 D 8 B and 8 C.     THIEPVAL MEMORIAL

Son of Mrs. Richards, of 20, Victoria Drive, Orrell Park, Liverpool, and the late R. W. Richards.

So it would seem that the family moved just around the corner between 1901 and 1916.

Norah Richards married David Breingan West Derby 8b 693 March qtr 1925 Walton, Trinity URC, Orrell & Rice Lanes

now that's a more unusual name for you to try.

David Wylie Breingau born Sept qtr 1894 West Derby 8b 397

[MaryA]

Mother Margaret Breingan 35 noted as Wife, born Scotland, with children Samuel 13, David 6, Evelyn 3 all born Liverpool and a servant Agnes Newton 45 born Scotland living in 28 Dumbarton Street, Walton in 1901.

RG13/3455; Folio: 42; Page: 17

Yes this might be more sensible to follow.
