So Richard would have been aged three. So it is possible that he might be known as Bradley or Greathead. He did use either/both names from time to time.3,1 He married Sarah Whitworth in 1837.1 His wife Sarah died on 1 September 1838.1,4 Richard was listed as the head of the family of on the census of 7 June 1841 in 7 Evans Street, Manchester, Lancashire, England, Richard was a cotton spinner and had his mother and step sisters living with him.5 He married Elizabeth Barlow on 25 December 1841 in St Mary, Parish Church, Prestwich, Manchester, Lancashire, England, Richard was a widower when he married his second wife Elizabeth.

No father was listed on the marriage certificate for Elizabeth.6,7 Richard was listed as the head of the family of on the census of 7 April 1861 in 32 Hibbert Street, Hulme, Manchester, Lancashire, England, Richard was a spinner, bit of a mystery as with the many children is listed a Richard aged one month but the only Richard that seems to have been born is #1753 in 1862.8 Richard seems to have had several occupations all probably within the same industry. In 1849 he is described as a piecer, a minder in 1853. By 1855 he is a cotton spinner operative.9,10,11 He died on 27 January 1871 in 66 Erskine Street, Hulme, Manchester, Lancashire, England.1,12 His death was registered on 1 February 1871 by Elizabeth Bradley his widow, who made a X and gave her address as 32 Hibbert Street, Hulme in the Chorlton Register Office.
