Hi: The Arnold Riches I am interested in was married to a Sophia Mitchell in Shotesham Norfolk. They had 3 daughters that I know of. Arnold was born @1835 parents were John and Maria Riches. How does this fit in with your informaation??

rogerpipe1 — 2009-03-09 16:20:40Z

Just noticed your 'long shot' of last year as I have a RICHES back in my family and this is an even longer shot.

I am researching the PIPE Name and my Grandfather Samuel Pipe married a Caroline Susanna Riches in 1880. She was born in Middlesex abt 1862 and died in Fressingfield, 19th August 1885.

If anyone has any info on Caroline I would appreciate hearing.

Re: Arnold Riches

SusanneGovan58 — 2009-03-05 07:36:45Z

Hello, I am searching the Riches family history and my Great Great Grandfather was Charles Mitchell Riches so it we may have a connection. As I have just come across your message and I have only just started researching through ancestry it may take some time to find a connection but I am on the case. Hope to hear from you with any more information...

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

diwbr — 2008-09-16 13:04:47Z

Thanks for reply - you have both been very busy

No Im not 100% sure on the death of John Richard Riches in 1819 at CORPUSTY - but that is what I came up with searching by computer

Are there any graves that could be looked at on the RICHES that may give more information?

Local history in that area?

Census for that area - Saxthorpe and Corpusty which may give you some other related information? on John and Ann RICHES children etc hoping to link back to them etc

You might be able to look at the deaths in 1819 and if they have his age listed then its possible to work back . As you know there are so many John Richard RIches and Richard RIches it gets very complicated when trying to track them.

Do you think chasing up Richard RICHES (son of John and Ann ) born 1789 and dying 1882 that he may have some more information on him that could lead you somewhere? He lived for 99 years so he could me a good lead to try and get more info on as he was around for a few census periods etc
. I think the link to him is the informant Thomas AUSTIN (grandson) . ie To prove that that link is our and not another link to another RIchard RICHES.

Census in 1851 RIchard RICHES - 58y widower living with granddaughter Frances RICHES - 9y old

RIchard RICHES alive in 1871 census (listed as father in law) - think he was living with Frances AUSTIN (wife aged 39y) and Watts AUSTIN (husband 39y) at that time

RIchard RICHES was alive in the 1881 Census also - Dwelling - Barlane;
living as a lodger 98 year old -Occupation ag labourer - with William RUGG (80y); Mary Ann RUGG (76y ) and next door in

Back Street - Census Place: Hackford
was a Frances AUSTIN (wife 39y) Thomas AUSTIN 39y head occupation Butcher.

Also in 1881 - Census Place Corpusty
Edward RICHES (ie Richard RICHES 6th child) was living on a dwelling Near Common and next door was his son also Edward RICHES and their respective families

NOt 100% on all of this - just quickly looked up my book.

I found a lot of information on the CORPUSTY & SAXTHORPE History web pages and links - they were working on the Corpustry Marriages, Baptisims and Burials from 1730 - 1812 a few years ago when I looked. Maybe they have it transcribed now. or they have some history for that area.

It seems like most of the family stayed around the corpusty / Wooddalling Hackford area etc it may be possible to track some of the other brothers to see if they stayed around that area or who they worked for etc.

Thomas - child (9) of John RICHES and Ann
Had him marrying Sarah BULLOCK. Listed in 1851 census along with some of other siblings etc

I have a friend in Aust who is a wiz on the family history - will get her to look into it tomorrow and see if she came come up with any ideas of where it look etc for more information .

Hope you find something
thanks for all your info also

Hi Dianne

Didn't get your first message but at least we have now made a connection. Thanks for writing to me.
I have today been to Norwich again to the records office. I am pleased to say your info on John and Ann Riches and their children is sound. We do have the 9 children but don't have Thomas. My wife and I were both searching different things and we can't remember if we found him or not !!( or just didn't write anything down ) But we have noted the following baptisms as per the records-

Children of John Riches and Ann ??? (no luck with surname)
William, bapt july 4 1775 Saxthorpe
John, bapt sept 29 1776 Saxthorpe
James, bapt Dec 28 1777 Saxthorpe
Edward, (Edmund in parish register) bapt 19 mar 1780 Wood Dalling
Ann & Hannah, (twins in parish register) bapt 30 jun 1782 Wood Dalling
Carolina, bapt 21 sep 1783 Wood Dalling
Robert, bapt 6 mar 1785 Wood Dalling
Richard, bapt 22 feb 1789 Wood Dalling
If there is a Thomas, he would be no. 10 !!! (may have to check this out at some stage to be sure)

Edward Riches and Mary Chapman had 5 children - (married 31 july 1810 Saxthorpe) They are -

Elizabeth, bapt 19 may 1811 Saxthorpe
Mary Ann, bapt 15 aug 1813 Saxthorpe
Thomas, bapt 25 feb 1816 Saxthorpe
Sarah, bapt 17 may 1818 Corpusty
James, bapt 31 dec 1826 Corpusty

We tried searching surrounding parishes for a marriage certificate for John and Ann Riches 1770's with no luck. Don't know where they were married or where they came from. We even wondered if Ann might be a Mary Ann ?? Any help here would be great. The John Riches and Ann Reynolds marriage at st. Stephens Norwich in 1774 seems to be no connection.

Are you sure of (our) John Riches death at Corpusty in 1819 ?? I did find this but there a several John's over a period of years and they all just say "John Riches" and nothing else. I wish they had put a bit more info down.

Even tried looking for wills of John and son Edward with no luck. It appears wills were expensive back then and mainly the wealthier had them. Our guys were farm labourers !!!

so, until I find a lead for John and Ann Riches, I am at a bit of a stand still in going back along the Riches line.

Sorry about Thomas Riches. I need to look for him again.

Keep in touch

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

diwbr — 2008-09-15 12:37:28Z

Hi Andrew
I sent you a post but it seems to have not gone thr will send this as a test. Have some information on Riches you are looking at
I have John RICHES born 1742 marrying about 1776 , dying 1819 Corpusty. Married Ann Her dying 1846.
Edmund being 4th child. Him marrying Mary CHAPMAN ( I have them as having 4 children so far. Mary Ann; Thomas; Sarah and James. At a quick glance in my book.

I do not have certificate for this - most of my information coming from Corpusty and Saxthorpe - census etc and baptisims etc

I did get a Certificate sent from England for a RIchard RICHES (9th child child of John RICHES and Ann. I think. I think he was christened in 1789, a widower by 1851? ; in 1871 Census living with Frances (aged 39), Watts Austin (husband - butcher) and son 8y Watts Austin .
Certificate has him (99y rs old) dying 1882 Hackford - THomas Austin - grandson being present at his death. Death being registered 9th August 1882. Certificate Registration District - Aylsham; Subdistrict Eynsford County of Norfolk.

Of the 9 siblings of John and Ann -
I had William RICHES ; christened 1775 Saxthorpe - later Married Elizabeth DAVERSON
James RICHES born about 1778 later marrying Mary SENDALL
Thomas RICHES christened 25/3/1787 at Wooddalling. marrying later on to Sarah BULLOCK

Just had a quick look in my book. i have not been doing much lately. Hope this can help you. Would be interested in making contact again and keep an eye on the posts etc

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

akr1bigtrip — 2008-09-11 09:27:55Z

Hi dianne

I too am searching the same Riches as you. Although I am following Edward ( baptised Edmund Riches 1780 Wood Dalling ) son of John and Ann. I am in the UK for a while from Australia and have been to the Norfolk records office and found some info but get stuck going back to John Riches and Ann ??. Can't find anything on them at this stage. I will visit the records office again and look up William,James and Thomas as I don't have them as yet. I did find baptisms for the rest of the 9 siblings - Edmund ( Edward )bapt 19 mar 1780, Ann + Hannah( twins ? )30 jun 1782, Carolina bapt 21 sep 1783, Robert bapt 6 mar 1785, and Richard bapt 22 feb 1789. All Wood Dalling. All from John and Ann Riches.
I have found a marriage of a John Riches and Ann Reynolds at St.Stephens Norwich 14 jan 1774 but can't say that they are the same couple at this stage.

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

linilou1 — 2008-02-03 13:45:52Z

Don't think I can help because my connection to Riches was a female link - Cathering Riches, who married Joseph Cassing 1844. Although strangely they moved to Brentford in London so if we keep looking we may come up with something. Perhaps Charlotte Riches was related to Catherine. Please let me know if you do find a connection to Catherine.

Really long shot here. I am researching Holders of Acton, Middlesex and 1851 Census shows Charlot Holder, b abt 1815 in Crossham, Norfolk, England, with sons William(b abt 1844-my gggrandfather) and Joseph(b abt 1846) .
I am researching her husband William Holder b abt 1813, and most likely marriage (not yet confirmed) is to Charlotte Riches at Brentford in 1842.

Re: Still looking for my Riches ancestors

It looks like he emigrated in 1903. A bit hard to read. Yes, it's 1991. The street address is usually written on the pages, but this looks like a big rooming house. You might look at preceeding pages.

I am researching Riches, but probably not yours. I have this page

My family history is the Felthams of Shottesham. Have you found out any more info? I noticed that a Charlotte Riches lived next door to some of the Felthams (1851 census) and was then working in one of the Feltham's homes in the 1861 census listed as "housekeeper."

Thanks for your reply. I will keep digging to find which Richard Riches is my link. It seems there were a lot of Riches in Norfolk!. If I come across any info in my travels that relates to you branch of the family I'll let you know!

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

dtuesl — 2007-01-27 11:51:08Z

I am linked to the Norfolk Riches as well. My maiden name was Debbie Riches. I am related directly to Vine Riches born circa 1815 I think in Great Massingham, Norfolk, who was the son of Richard Riches. Not sure if we have a direct link....were any of the 10 children of the Richard you reference called Vine do you know?

Hello. All I have is a reference on familysearch to a marriage of richard riches and frances scottow on 16 August 1818 in Corpusty, Norwich, Norfolk. And I can tell you they had 7 children, one of whom was Catherine my Gt x 2 grandmother. Please let me know if you do discover anything else. Good luck.

Re: RICHES OF NORFOLK

linilou1 — 2007-01-28 15:29:05Z

I only have 7 children listed for Richard Riches and Frances Scottow. Vine is not one of them. I haven't been able to get any further with my research on the Riches.

Re: Still looking for my Riches ancestors

BethMacKeage — 2007-02-24 23:03:18Z

Thank you for this information. I assume this would be the 1911 city census? It does not list a street address.

I thought at first it was the 1901 census since that date is at the end of the line, but that would have put my Granddad in Canada when he was 15, long before I was told he came. I then saw the 1911 at the top.

Are you connected to the Riches at all?

Beth - ;)

Re: Still looking for my Riches ancestors

Beth - ;)

Re: Still looking for my Riches ancestors

BethMacKeage — 2007-02-24 23:48:47Z

I looked at your site. It is very doubtful your Riches is the same as mine unless they go back to a common ancestor before my great-grandfather. I have been able to find, through old English census', the names at least of my g-g-grandfather's children but nothing beyond that. None of them have the names of your branch. Interestingly enough though, one of my aunts was Florence Riches, before she married.

I poked around that site you sent and found my Grandmother, in the York South section. She was a widow who emigrated to Canada after her husband died. She married my grandfather in 1913. Fortunately I knew her widowed name by looking up their marriage registration.

The information I have about when my grandfather emigrated is all hearsay but I was told it was 1905. Grandma came in 1910.

my great grandmother was Mary Ann Riches born Hunworth 1846, her parents were William Riches born 1821 Cawston and married to Sarah Scarf(e)daughter of John and Mary Scarfe. I am having great difficulty finding William Riches - the one posted on the Ancestry site did not marry Sarah and therefore I am stuck. Bishop's transcripts did not reveal a baptism in 1821 nor is there any father's name on the marriage certificate.
Do you have any information that would help me?
