His family are evident in Eastbourne in the 1841 and 1851 censuses: parents are Richard and Cherry, born 1774 and 1785 respectively. In 1841 he was a butcher, 1851 he was a flydriver, which nicely takes him to be a riding master in 1861. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe tim@powys.org for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/
