There are lots of different spellings in the censuses but I thinkthat must be Ocle Pychard

Genuki - Herefordshire - confirms that name = Ocle Pychard

Thanks, now to see if his baptism survives....

ADDED: Looking good as the children of the Richard Ro[e]wberry I believe this man to be were baptised in Much Cowarne a couple of miles away between 1797 & 1808.
