In 1881 might Elizabeth be the Elizabeth HUGHES, 33 (yes, I think she was fibbing about her age on the censuses - younger husband), born Wotton under Edge, Head of Household, Manageress of a Club in Bristol, Married but no sign of a husband.
And perhaps William could be William HUGHES, 30, a passenger on the 'SS City of Brussels' in Liverpool - marital status not recorded, birthplace given only as England.
Can't see Arthur (Arthur Henry HUGHES, birth, Sep qtr 1880, Dursley).

No William I'm afraid
Mitre Inn, Sinwell & Bradley RG10/2591 folio 72 pg 4
Samuel Richings head mar 30 butcher & publican
Elizabeth wife 30
Louisa Ann dau 9 scholar
Emily Kate dau 4 scholar
Samuel son 1
Isaac Mortimer boarder umn 66 weaver b. Wilts, Kingston Longley
all born Wotton-under-Edge except where stated.
There's an enumerator's mark over Samuel's age, and it's been transcribed as 36 on Ancestry, but I think it should say 30 and therefore match what he gave in 1861 which was 20.
Does this mean there's been an update on my favourite soap opera? Off to the Australian board to check.

Hi Osprey
Very many thanks. (And sorry to disappoint ~ not much doing, over at the Aussie board ~ no impending drama) 
This William (Will) RICHINGS pops up in a newspaper obituary in Hokitika, New Zealand, 1897 - he's lived there for about four years. Obit is for his Uncle, William FOWLER (b. Wotton-under-Edge, Nov. 1832) - a respected member of the Hokitika community. Young Will is described as "the son of FOWLER's sister, Mrs RICHINGS".
This 1871 Samuel RICHINGS (who appears to be the brother of my John (alias "Thomas") RICHINGS, married an Elizabeth FOWLER . (I feel pretty sure Will is the child of this couple) .
At FreeBMD I see a "William RICHINGS" - b. Dec. 1864 - Regn. Dursley. [Also births for Emily (Kate) - 1867 and Samuel - 1870 ... nothing for Louisa Ann. Haven't found a "William" death ]. Wondering now if the 7-8 year-old William is away a boarding school or such-like ?
(No William in 1881 either, with his now widowed Mother and sisters). Mmm ... puzzling ?
Thanks again.
Lu

Wonderful Osprey ! Thanks
Have just checked 1881 ... still with Gran (same address)
- aged 16 - Draper's apprentice.
Will went back to England for a brief period in 1897 - and upon returning to NZ he set up his own drapery business. Seems he was rather talented musically - he founded the Hokitika Opera and Drama Society, and served on several sports committees. He married late in life (without issue).
Ah ... have found a "respectable" RICHINGS .... at last ! 
Thanks for your help.

Good evening
I have been reseaching the Richings family for several years but have only just started using Rootschat last week.
Did you get any further with the elusive John Richings bp 02-01-1839 at Wotton-Under-Edge.
My research on him ended when I couldn't find him on the 1871C and I thought he may have died.
I am descended from William and Marianne.
Regards
CW

John Richings 1839-1898 was my great great grandfather. He deserted his wife Sarah Ann nee Blizard later Armitage two or three weeks after his son John Blizard Richings was born in December 1863. Sarah divorced him in the early 1870s. I have the full transcript of the divorce proceedings somewhere(from Kew) but have been moving stuff and can't lay my hands on it at the moment. Grounds for divorce were adultery ("with an Amelia Underhill at a coffee shop in Stroud and later at the Strand London") and desertion.
He then of course got the worst of the argument with the Rangiora train in February 1898
I have photographs of most of the WUE Richings family taken at the wedding of Mabel, JBR's daughter in I guess about 1910. My main source of information is my mother who was born 1920 and is still alive but I have obtained most of the necessary documentation on this family back to John senior 1817 to 1895 and his wife Mary Cook
Hope I am not making a mess of this as it is my first post.

Hi ishtat
Welcome to Rootschat!
What a nice way to start - very exciting to have so much information. I had no idea that Stroud coffee shops were such dens on iniquity, lol!
I hope you enjoy Rootschat.
Kind regards, Arranroots

I'm sure Lucy will be glad to hear from you. Have you seen another one of her Richings' posts on the Australian board - quite a saga!
