Hi There
One of my ancestors was said to be a famous Gun manufacturer based around the Birmingham area of Worcestershire.
His name was Westley Richards and was knighted in later life. Does any one know anything about the following family or can some one look them up for me in the 1841 Census please
In 1851 I have
Westley (Wessley) Richards born abt 1791 Edgbaston, Gun manufacturer
Wife Harriet born in London abt 1793
Son Charles born at 1824 Edgbaston
Son George born abt 1826 Edgbaston
Daughter Mary born abt 1822 Edgbaston
They had 3 servants Benjamin Holding (1826), Phoebe Mattington 1823 and Hannah Woodden 1821.
Id appreciate any information whatsoever including the family business of gunmaking etc
Cheers
Jan

Hi Tanja
Thanks very much for this! I didnt even think about looking for them today - I thought the firm would be long gone - Fascinating!
Cheers
