And if you look on the 1861 census you will see that before the marriage to Ann he was previously maried to a Mary b.1817 Swanscombe. Eldest child shown age 20 so married prior to 1841.He wasn't rich but he must have had something to keep marrying one after another! So no,Chimp, you are not wrong
Phewwww It doesn't help that there are 2 Richard Munns in the same area at the same time. The other Richard married Sarah Miler in 1864.
Don't worry Chimp it happens to us all. Thanks for all the input on this everyone. Really must be off to bed now, will go through it all again tomorrow. Apart from Chimps little boo boo!
Who knows whose right anymore. Now i really am off to bed. Think I need to see it all written down on good old fashioned paper
Just tried to work this out on paper and searching etc............ so hard!!!!! Too many Richard's, Mary's and Ann's. Need to come back to it, this will not beat me!!
This probably wont help but hay. Going back through the censuses I think I have found all the family. Estimated birth years taken from the censuses. All baptisms Father Richard, Mother Mary. All baptisms in Swanscombe.

Distance from Chalk to Swanscombe is about 6 miles. On both the 1851 and 1861 censuses Richard and Mary say they were born in Swanscombe.
