Unfortunately that Thomas was aged 35 and so too young to be Richard's father. (FreeREG has two entries for the event, one giving age 35, the other 55. They are from different sources, the burial register and the burial ground accounts book. Images of the originals can be viewed via Ancestry and both actually have the age as 35.) -- David Hartley
