Hugh s/o Rice with "Uncle" Robert on Crinoline 1861. Of course I can't prove it but there are several checks Robert b Liverpool (1841 not born in County), Hugh b Runcorn, ages of both check. Rice died 1849, so I think Robert takes his nephew Hugh's training on. I'll have a look at the Robert you found. Hard to find them because they areoften at sea, and seem to have bases in Liverpool as well as Runcorn.
