For starters, here's Richard and family on the 1901 census:
RG13/405 - Folio 9 - Pg 10 55 Kennington Rd, Lambeth
Richard Bullen Head 28 Cellarman (Public House) b. Wantage
Amelia J Bullen Wife 28 b. Lambeth
Victor C Bullen Son 3 b. Lambeth
Harold M Bullen Son 2m b. Lambeth
FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl has a probable marriage record in St Saviour registration district, Mar Q 1894, with Richard Bullen and Amelia Jane Pratt on the same page. If you want to order a copy of this certificate, the reference is St Saviour 1d 220.
I couldn't see Richard straight away on the earlier censuses, but I'll have a bit of a dig for him and Amelia once I've finished some of the housework, which is what I *ought* to be doing right now... (Trouble is, genealogy is far more interesting!  )
You could try looking for them - separately! - on the 1881 census, which can be searched freely at the LDS FamilySearch site http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=search_all1.asp&clear_form=true

That's the right baptism, although the family's a bit complicated... Here's Richard in 1891:
RG12/343 - Folio 36 - Pg 28 "Three Companies", Southwark
Richard Bullen Head 58 Licensed Victualler b. Riddlesdown, Surrey
Fanny Bullen Wife 33 b. East Ilsley, Berkshire
Richard Bullen Son 19 Barman b. Wantage
Walter Bullen Son 14 Scholar b. Gloucester
Charles Bullen Son 11 b. Clapham
Ada E Bullen Dau 10 b. Clapham
Frederick Bullen Son 6 b. Clapham
Alfred Bullen Son 3 b. Lambeth
Mary A Bullen Dau 1 b. Southwark
Caroline Lansdown Servant 24 b. Clerkenwell
The right father, but the wrong mother... However, if we go back to 1881, we find Richard Sr as a widower:
RG11/0375 - Folio 63 - Pg 47 Barnards Inn Tavern, St Andrew, London
Richard Bullen Head Wid 48 Licensed Victualler b. Riddlesdown
George E Bullen Son 12 Scholar b. Wantage
Fanny Bishop Niece M 23 Housekeeper b. East Isley
Walter Bishop Nephew 4 b. Gloucester
Elizabeth James Niece U 16 Barmaid b. Clapham
Alice James Niece 14 Visitor b. Clapham
Jane Hobbs Servant 15 Barmaid b. Clapham
Compare Fanny and Walter Bishop in 1881 with Fanny and Walter Bullen in 1891... Perhaps calling his fiancé "niece" was a way of avoiding gossip? And where is Richard Jr? 
Continuing backwards, I found Richard Sr in 1871:
RG10/1267 - Folio 16 - Pg 23 Newbury St, Wantage
Richard Bullen Head 40 Licensed Victualler b. Croydon, Surrey
Jane A Bullen Wife 32 b. Wantage
Alice Bullen Dau 14 b. New York, America
Eliza Betteridge Step-dau 8 b. Wantage
George Bullen Son 2 b. Wantage
Harriet Mace Servant 28 b. Earl Hanney, Berks
Francis West Ostler 18 b. Abingdon, Berks
William Wise Stable Boy 15 b. Lambeth
(Richard Jr was born after the census was taken.) Does this mean Jane was previously married to a Mr Betteridge? If so, Alice must have a different mother.
I haven't found Richard Sr, Jane or Alice in 1861, so maybe they were in the US?
More later, perhaps - this family intrigues me!

There's a probable marriage on FreeBMD in Westminster registration district, Jun Q 1867, with Richard Bullen and Jane Bettridge on the same page - ref. Westminster 1a 612.
It's not clear from this whether Bettridge was Jane's maiden or previous married name, so I looked for her in the 1861 census:
RG9/736 - Folio 32 - Pg 27 "Blue Boar", Newbury St, Wantage
William Bettridge Head 26 Innkeeper & Farmer of 23 Acres b. Wantage
Jane Bettridge Wife 22 b. Wantage
Sarah Bettridge Sister U 23 Fundholder b. Wantage
Abraham Pumfrey Servant 21 Ostler b. Uffington, Berks
Martha Ireson Servant 20 House Servant b. Grove, Berks
So Jane was married to William Bettridge before she married Richard Bullen Sr, and Eliza is a daughter of her first marriage.
Richard Bullen Sr must have had another wife before Jane, and this first wife was the mother of Alice.
I haven't found these marriages on FreeBMD, but the index hasn't been completely transcribed for all years.

And more...
In 1861, Alice Bullen aged 4, b. New York, is a visitor in the household of Edwin Chandler (b. Cheltenham c1816). Also listed as a visitor is Caroline Bullen, a married woman aged 27, b. London, whose occupation is given as Stewardess. Presumably this is Alice's mother, and Richard Sr's first wife.

Hi
Richard Bullen Senior is my Great Grandfather too, My Great grandmother was Fanny Webb and I am totally convinced they werent married. She was Married and went as Bishop.
Richard Snr b Sanderstead, was christened in Warlingham in 1833
I am interested in someone looking up the passenger ships
and the American side for me. Very expensive to join Worldwide Ancestry.
I have access to Ancestry.co.uk so if any one would like any help let me know.
Please not that in the 1881 census he was transcribed as Ballen
I got it altered
