Richard Willitts tailor

Hi,
I am looking for information on Richard Willitts tailor, I have found in 1835 Pigot's directory Richard Willitts Worcester Street Wolverhampton. I can't find him on any census, in 1850 his daughter  Elizabeth marries Henry Guest at the parish church Sedgley and his trade is tailor. I believe Richard married Lucy Merchant 1802 Wombourne.

Thank you, I assumed that it didn't say deceased on the marriage certificate he was still alive.
